Broken Glass

A comparison between a struggling girl and a shattered mirror.

They held me up

They all did

Friends, family

Even my guinea pig

Then one day

A slight support

Slipped away

More followed

Seemingly one per day

When the remaining struggled

Barely enough

To keep me up

I gave in

It had become too tough

I hit the ground

Shattered into mere remnants

Only pieces

Only bits

I saw them returning

So I became my own tape

To try to hold myself together

Yet another day

So when they are near

I am a single, fragile work

But when they disappear

I am fragments once more

What will happen

When the adhesive wears old

I do not know

I do not know

I guess I will just be

The broken reflection

No one wants to see

Author's Note

I haven't really done poetry in awhile. I'm trying out some metaphorical writing. What do you think?
