Array ( [sid] => 14518 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => My Journey [time] => 2003-03-18 23:05:00 [hometext] => This is a rewrite of my poem, 'Shattered.' Thank you, Joel, for all the help and inspiration on this. Thank you also to Venkat, for shedding new light on the interpretaion of the original. His comments showed me that the mirror symbolizes the personality that is not myself. Friends, which do you like better? Please let me know. [bodytext] => I woke up this morning

And punched the mirror in disgust

I hated where I was,

But now I hate who I've become.

Because of my selfish ignorance,

I lost it all

Told lies and false promises

Threw away my life and followed a man-

Allowing him to break my heart daily

Even worse, placed a boundary before everything I loved

I ran and hid from it all,

Took the easy road,

But now one of the people I loved most is gone-

I will never be able to tell him

Of all the things I took for granted,

All the love I had in my heart,

And the peaceful child of myself that died.

There is a void before the ones that stood by me

My loved ones are separated by a deep chasm,

I am forced to taste the fruit of my mistakes.

How do I explain?

Even if they forgive me,

I will never find that forgiveness in my heart

For I have failed at this game of life,

Let the stakes rise too high...

So now I sit here,

The peaceful child inside me lost-

Knowing it's out of my hands

And I can't go back.
