Destruction

I got mad so

I snatched it up in my tight fist

Raised it high above my head

And with all my might

Propelled it into the cold hard ground

I watched it shatter into a million shards

And it felt good

 

Until I noticed my reflection in every tiny, shiny piece

Staring back at me breathless

And red with rage

Twisted and contorted

Into a being I did not recognise

Eyes filled with hate

 

So I fell to my knees amongst them

Got out the glue

Collected the million shards

And slowly, patiently tried to put them back together

But the scars were still visible

And it was never quite the same
