A fine line
Walked daily
Pulled one way
Pushed another
Cries for help
Ignored.
“You’re the one
we always
count on,
the
‘strong one.'”
Sleepless nights
Eggshell walking days
Beyond tired
Forehead smashes
The bathroom mirror
Fragmented images
Stare back
A sad realization
The
mirror
is
not
what
is
broken.
Patch Work
By Alex Knight
Needles pierce
the fabric of my being
stitches here
new pieces there
attempting in vain
to restore
Decades of destruction
Caused by belief
In my own
Invulnerability
Stitching my soul
Healing my heart
Is not as easy
Edges frayed and ragged
Will not come together
Despite endless mending
The damage is forever
