MIRROR

A man is broken
who can fix him?

Women are not
interested
and other men
are ignorant

A full recovery
is impossible
expecting that would be dreaming
he cannot be bandaged
for nothing can heal
what she has
broken

The first cut is the deepest
but many blades
will travel the same path
each time the skin heals
it becomes
tougher
stronger

The hurt begins to lessen
and his eyes begin to open

It is easy to appear happy
amongst friends
but it is even harder to
cry
when no one else
is there

He can begin to live again
only
when he sees that
the man
in the mirror
is the healer
