Broken Crystal, Looking glass

Trapped beside a looking glass
Filled with empty tears
Feeling ev’ry second pass
As my makeup smears
Pulling out my hair because
I know I’m not okay
Gritting teeth and clenching jaws
In frustrated dismay
The looking glass is daunting
It summons hollow tears
The clock, just ticking—taunting
Bringing the surface to my fears
Or stuck inside a crystal ball
Suffocating in its haze
Either way, myself I maul
Encased in self-loathed ways
The crystal ball unhinges me
Inside it’s round mystique
Searching for a corner
To hide, I’m lost, I shriek
Breaking free of crystal’s fog
Among the glass you’ve shattered
Breathing in diluted smog
My feelings lie there, scattered
It’s you that helped me break out
It’s you who sets me free
But when it’s you I’m without
The looking glass I see
The crystal ball is scarcely there
The looking glass is bold
Reflecting all my fears, despair
Inside me I behold
The crystal ball is broken
Reflecting in a mirror
My fears that lie unspoken
Reflecting, they’re now clearer
My mind is made of glass
The kind you can’t see through
A two-way pane—alas!
You don’t see me, do you?
The looking glass before me
Broken crystal all around
The reflection is sorely
Creating broken glass rebound
I know this broken glass
And it grows ever nearer
For it’s in my looking glass
And I can’t escape this mirror

You have given a glimpse into your inner pain.
It makes me want to give you a hug.
Although the words cry out they are beautifully written.

Very well written, Chelsea. How poetic you are! I admire your style. (I'm really green with envy on the inside). I also really liked the author's note. I can totally relate, and you managed to capture the feelings in such a beautiful, descriptive way. Nicely done, my friend.
