Broken Mirror

Ask yourself,
What do I see
in this broken mirror?

Perhaps it’s the day
you fell and scraped your knee
on the fractured sidewalk
in front of your house.
Or the day you failed
a class in high school,
watched your future shatter.

Perhaps your days
became broken mirrors,
each reflecting back
your hopes and dreams,
shining fragments of your
as-yet-unlived life.
