Shattered Mirror
by Tricia Pattinson
I talk, argue, convince, dissuade
Forgive the broken pieces
I made of me
In these shattered bits of mirror

I never thought
It would be a pair
Of hands that soothed
The hurricanes in my
Chest,
Autumn eyes taking in
Scars and bruises and
Misconceptions, molding
These faults and flaws
Into strengths.
I never knew that having
Fingers on my throat could
Teach me how to breathe again,
Teach me how to love again,
Unconditionally.
Thank you.

A secret code that whispers in your sleep.
You have become a spy.
Undercover, in your own world.
What are you searching for?
Is it your treasure which you have tucked away?
Hopefully you will find that which you have intentionally lost,
And at its appearance,
You will forget the tears you shed,
And once again remember
