You were always the strong one.
The one in control,
The one with a plan,
The one who held up
Every lost or fallen soul.
I’ve always hated people like you.
The one’s with a perfect smile,
The one’s with a perfect calm,
The one’s with a perfect life
Who do not know what it means
To reach out so desperately.
It’s for that very reason
I was so relievedÂ
When I heard you scream
So familiar a cry
To my own.
To find certainty that
When I break, it will not be
An unfamiliar sight to the one
In your ownÂ
Shattered mirror.
You may reject your imperfections
But I assure you,
Broken pieces fit together
As simply as puzzle pieces
Finding comfort in the embrace
Of their match.
