Theme : I broke my mirror

***

And for one last time she held the mirror with a perspective new,

For now she could distinguish between true and untrue.

 

Her flaws and scars mirrored imperfections, 

But she realized lessons she’d learned had chiseled her to perfection.

 

Her mounting grays made her appear lackluster,

Though the stories they highlighted had made her stronger.

 

Some relationships that seemed rosy like the onset of spring,

Screamed with betrayal and lies unsettling. 

 

Her withering beauty, though it seemed to mock at her,

She let out a loud guffaw and refused to bother.

 

She said “ O’ Mirror! My inner soul you fail to reflect,

I behold the power to define what’s perfect.”

 

Unregretfully she broke the mirror into a thousand pieces odd,

Destiny paved her an enlightening path and the heavens did applaud.
