Shattered mirrors
I look in the mirror and I see a mini you
I look in the mirror and I see who you made me
I see the creature you raised me to be
I take a hammer and shattered that image
It took a long time
It took a lot of strength
I shed a lot of tears
I hesitated because I had to lose you to find myself.
But I managed to do it
I am my own person and not a fragment of you
I don’t fear you or the world we lived in
I am free from the mirror you trapped me in
Now I can see my own reflection
I get scared
I look at your letters and I can hear my own thoughts
I read about how you felt, and I see how I feel
One medicated,One bottled up
One trapped, one freed
I look in the mirror and see you sometimes
