Reflection

 

A hardened heart

made in to a wall

A nice thick shell

 to prevent a fall

 

Never letting anyone peer in

Always hidden, even to closest friends

 

A dismal outlook

on knowledge of self

A skewed vision

sitting tidily on the shelf

 

Never to be hurt by anyone

Always safe, mind on the run

 

A shattered mirror

so no one can see

A different one

who she needs to be

 

Never admitting the truth to see

Is killing the soul, slowly but surely
