I’m not sure if I know what it all means anymore
When is normal supposed to feel right?
It pains me to break the mesmerism
I turn to face a mirror not recognizing the reflection
The weight of pride has taken its toll
But dignity wanes
Who’s impressed now?
The exterior has become brittle
Cracks in the surface reveal an unseen fragility
What have the years done to me?
I peel off the ugly parts
It’s time to start over
