Shards

Stare into the mirror

What is it you think you see?

A stranger looking back

Or a forgotten memory?

Shadows of self

Pieces of thoughts you once suppressed

They now resurface

To return again

What is real? What is illusion?

Thoughts twisted into confusion

Are they dreams or obsessions?

Fantasies or confessions?

Too horrible to contemplate

Or have you realized too late?

A shattered mind, a wretched fate

Personalities that separate

Collapsing like a house of cards

Splintering into countless shards

A mind torn apart

Memories you can't believe

Brought back through guilt and grief

Nightmares now all too real

Waking brings no relief

Your mind's eye blinded

Sanity has lost control

To a part of yourself

Best left unknown

What is real? What is illusion?

Thoughts twisted into confusion

Are they dreams or obsessions?

Fantasies or confessions?

Too horrible to contemplate

Or have you realized too late?

A shattered mind, a wretched fate

Personalities that separate

Collapsing like a house of cards

Splintering into countless shards
