Through My Puffy Eyes
Through My Puffy Eyes


Disoriented, I lay on the cold tile
No longer a mirror, but a broken shard
With every sob, that ran a shudder through me
With every sob, that brought in a ragged breath
With every sob, that promised to fracture me
With every sob, that shrank me to a withered flower
Through my puffy eyes, now the world seemed crystal clear
With every sob, that demanded a whisper of reassurance
With every sob, that sank in a new realization
With every sob, I build a new me
With every sob, I build a confident me
Not for the world, but only for me.
