Shards

• Artist: RainAmaya
• Description: This is a poem I wrote about love and self esteem. The beginning is about me realizing everything isn't as people want me to beleive. The third and fourth stanzas are about being shown love for a brief moment. The fifth is how I thought I was grand and above the world for the brief moment I had my love. The last is me realizing my love was one sided, I wasn't receiving anything from the person I loved and I couldn't wait around for them. So I go back to the way I was.

I broke my mirror the other day,
As a punishment for its lies.
The ones it spouts out everyday,
So many they'd fill up the skies.

Into the trash I threw the glass
As for the frame, I left it there.
All the lies, though in the past,
The truth will never compare.

I started over yesterday...
With everything new, nothing the same.
That's when you saw me that day in May
That's when you called out my name.

I turned around to find you,
But you ignored me, ducked away.
Though embarrassed you were, it's true,
My resolve you made decay.

I wanted to be heard.
I wanted to be seen.
In my mind I was a bird.
In my mind I was a queen.

So two weeks passed...
The glass in my mirror renewed.
I'd rather be lied to first and last
Than sit around waiting for you.

It's still good, I don't know why I even have to say it...again... (besides the fact that my pain meds are starting to make me really dizzy, and my imagination is making that shadow-ninja/ghost thing pop up around me more). I say, it'd be fun to replace all of the mirrors with empty frames. Same with picture frames....

if you have to change for someone, then they're not worth it
