Pain Poem by Tayla Fankhauser

Who am I
Is my reflection lying to me?
I leave my heart to wonder
Are all my questions answered?

I never know what to say
When I see myself thought the glass
If my heart was to shatter
Would my reflection too

I’ve cut my hand
Trying to put my reflection back together
Is this who I am
A person who would shatter the angel starring
Thought the mirror

Please write me the definition of hurt
Its written upon their graves
Tears have fallen yet not shall not to be saved
I guess once more

I shall never know for sure
Where my life ends
Shall I take it now?
When my entire soul is burning down

Looking down at my reflection of shattered glass
My mirror was broken
With the memories of my past
Why is it so hard at times?

With the burden to burn
No one really gives a care
Trying to put my heart back together
Is like playing with broken glass

I’ve bound to get cut by shape eagles
I’ve cut my hands
Trying to put my reflection back together
Is this who I am

A person who would shatter the angel starring
Thought the mirror
Please tell me the definition of hurt
Its written upon their graves

Tears have fall yet I should not be saved
Faded and so silent
So hunted by my thoughts
Holding it all inside.

All though the night I would cry
Alone watching my own soul break
No one will ever know
The pain behind my eyes

I’ve let myself and my fears hold me down
I used to be safe and sound
Now all the little pieces of me don’t matter
I’ve tried to hard

Now I bleed
What have I done to myself?
I’ve cat my hands
Trying to put my reflection back together

Is this who I am?
A person who would shatter the angel starring
Thought the mirror
Please write me the definition of hurt

Its written upon their grave
Tears have fallen yet I should not be saved
I’ve cut my hands
Trying to put my reflection back together

Is this who I am
A person who would shatter the angel starring
Though the mirror
Please write me the definition of hurt
Its written upon their graves
Tears have fallen yet I should not be saved.
