Shattered reflections

“Shattered Reflections”

In shattered glass, I see my face

A fractured soul, a broken pace

The pieces sharp, like cutting pain

Reflecting shards of what remains

My mind, a mausoleum, sealed and grey

Where dreams lie buried, fade away

The echoes scream, the silence mocks

A hollow laughter, eerie knocks

The weight of chains, that bind me tight

A suffocating grip, no end in sight

Each breath, a struggle to survive

A desperate gasp, to stay alive

In this abyss, I search for peace

But find instead, a never-ending release

Of tears, of screams, of silent cries

A deluge of despair, that never dries

My heart, a heavy, bleeding stone

My thoughts, a labyrinth, forever alone

The darkness closes, like a vice

A crushing pressure, no escape device

In shattered reflections, I behold

A shadow self, growing old

A fading light, that once shone bright

Now lost, in endless, sleepless night.
