Split

Two things you should learn to embrace, that which draws you in & that witch makes you cringe. Within both is wisdom.

 

 

 

 

We SPLIT, define, masking the underline.

Shallow as the depth of mirrors!

All reviled in sweetened time.

Unable to wash the soul with tears.

 

Keep walking the thin glass line,

one day you must face your fears.

You are SPLIT and undefined!

The raw darkened side sneers,

 

aware it has been undermined.

Hold fast, turn, change gears!

Be raw as the time draws nearer.

Heal the darkness as it appears.

 

No longer SPLIT, vision clearer.

 

~Melody

 

 

 

Author's Note

What we so often define ourselves by, is the same image we see in the mirror. Unfortunately this image holds as much depth as the mirror itself.

Wow my Poet friend. A very powerful poem. I like the places you took me in your words. Hard to find peace in your reflection. I ask myself daily. Did I do anything good? A mental journey into amazing poetry. Thank you.

Beautiful poem

[Crystal Marie Dreier]

This is very beautiful!

This is an amazingly powerful point, we all must look at our reflections for a further meaning of ourselves, but the biggest mistake I made was to try an discard my other or multiple personas, this was my biggest pretence, to myself.

Images can label us and put us in boxes. So often, what is seen on the outside does not speak to the true person inside. Its a glass image with no warmth and this is what we are judged by. Beautiful poem!

Nice write, nice music video to go with it, nice author's note. The mirror's image does hold a lot, just as we do. Split, I like that title.
