In a hall of mirrors, the most beautiful and true,

I stare into them, as we all will have to.

I look into my face, and see only lies,

I cannot see the soul that dwells behind my eyes,

The images crowd over, me encasing me within their depths,

Suffocating and drowning me, till they break my last breath,

They cry, and they scream, willing to be me,

But none of them are, and none of them will be.

I cannot hold back, I’m trying to give in,

But the cracked mirror calls out to me, from my pain within,

I stare into it, willing to be free.

I can see the truth in a facet so like me,

The mirror may be broken but it shows my soul,

Which all the complete mirrors failed to behold,

The pain inside and the truth I need,

Can all be seen in a mirror distorted, cracked, and wanting to be freed.

Broken mirrors and fragments holding so many images. I'm finding the best mirrors are not made of glass, but either way, the truth is always revealing and the untruths are wait to be exposed.

A very thoughtful write, despite the sadness.

it's always difficult to admit that the images are and never will be you. good job!
