Illusion discovered
the cracks had begun
What lays beneath them?
Afraid to know.

The illusion of self –
had held for so long –
Shattered into a
million pieces.

Anger and tears arise –
vying for the spot.
Validation please
of self long past.

Fractured beyond; no two
pieces the same size.
Small and large alike
reflecting…who?

It’s time to begin now…
the journey anew.
Leaving shards behind –
and look within.

For the answer we seek
comes from within us –
Not from someone else.
Get to know self.

Feel free to share...
