Mirrors Of Delusion

Fragile is the mirror Our psyche hides behind Reflecting our delusions From fear of what we find Still we are just the child Shaken and alone Brought out in the open Outside our comfort zone Confusion is a constant The measure of all things With the flooding of emotions Our shattered mirror brings Things that lay hidden In recesses of the mind Come out to rule the moment Future thoughts aside Lashing out at loved ones Meaning no offense Sharpness of the tongue A spiritual defense Saying many things We rapidly regret Slipping even further Praying you forget Puzzling the pieces From the many shards Glue of understanding Reducing many scars Buffing it with love Makes it shinny new To find that little child You’d need a jeweler's view When it’s all together We say that we have grown Our mirror shining brightly With delusions all our own mr_alleycat
