Today was the end.

Her expression beckoned me
And left me one last choice
Now she is dead, ceased entirely
No longer would I bear her wicked disease.

All of this lamentable time
I've sold myself as weak
As a piteous breath of misery                                                                                              
Simply light as a feather, yet heavy in sorrow
I've become something I must no longer be.

Falling upon understandment
It's a moment I've needed, a moment I have sought
To gaze unto realities dial, and believe I am not feeble
Here me now, what a fool I've been
I had the power to silence
The violence in these whispers all along.          

My strength burst through the glass
And my distress revealed itself
Lying shattered on the carpet
The beads of scarlet dribble down my arm
Gracefully greeting the rest of my body
Wherefrom- the blast, I am cut everywhere
To my chest, to my thigh, I wish to cry
Though I refuse to withdrawl a tear from my eye
This is apart of the journey
And I have almost arrived.

Continuing on, I admire the designs
The pieces so delicate and sharply pointed
In all over spaces, upon the surface floor
I glance once more, In wonderment of what I've found
An honest reflection, one of myself, I appeared in truth
No longer am I a counterfeit smile
Least I frown, though I smile- not at all
Who I am, I recognize better in pieces
For I am broken, I am not wrecked
This time I request is to mend, and to embrace freedom
To experience a Renovation of the mind
The eyes, and the heart as a whole
To become so and remain such- Forevermore.

Today was the beginning.

So I finally finished this. Took me a great while, actually.
But I think I am okay with it. I mean, as always I am not fond of my writings
.. because I find them to be mediocre at best. Possibly hideous. But I try.

I wrote this about the struggle I have with my appearance, the breakdown, and breaking point in which I faced not long ago.
I felt inspired afterward, and so I began working on something to express what I had done.

Please, if you have any opinions, you're more than welcomed to share them. I'd love to read your thoughts. :aww:

Very deep and inspirational. Really makes you think and look closely at the words. Powerful, and I'm glad you are starting to see yourself in a new light. :heart:
