Mirror
For Ellie Hoovs' Wonderland Challenge - Day 18
Wallpaper peels
Like a sunburn
Cracked and raw
Bricks crumble
Like old bones
Fractured and brittle
Glass fogs
Like aged lenses
Distorted and cloudy
Foundations fall
Like ladened tears
Slow and steady
I walk through the rubble
Being careful not to trip
On truths buried
Like hidden mines
I don't need your voice
To tell me you've spoken
I don't need the light
To know I've been woken
I don't need a mirror
To reflect what is broken

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
