A cracked mirror’s reflection is "flawed"

 

The mirror is cracked only reflecting flaws

Years of neglect being the cause

No longer finding beauty within

Reflecting only sadness, heartache and sin

Hope of youth is beginning to fade

Time taking its’ toll the price being paid

Searching for joy carelessly tossed

Desperate to find love so easily lost

Climbing a ladder with no end no top

Losing yourself, no escape no way to stop

Mirrors reflect what we chose to see

Past, present, future, who do you want to be

    There is definitely a time when our carefully constructed facade gets chipped away and we have to deal with ourselves flaws and all.
