break the mirror

By manunkind

fall off
bleed
get back on the horse
bleed ever more
i see weakness in the mirror
i see disgust

shatter

thousands of pieces
a million times my face
disappointment
everywhere
repulsive
lowly
revolting
hold on to the image
never let it go

crumble

shards of me
buried within
calling forth the essence of being
red relics
no longer reflections
red remains
no more disappointment
red reminders
beautiful
not disgusting
the image
no more than a nightmare
a recollection
red shards
a shimmering jewel
pain
like a symphony of relief
blood and glass
a magic wand
whisper one word
it'll all disappear
just pain
bloody shards
enjoy the sensation
the feeling
the numbness
the sharpness
absorb
the hot
flowing
beauty
breathe it
lick it
smear it
be freed
