A broken mirror still reflects

I was once scared of my my mind,
And #permanent changes through time.

The fracturing of identity,
Made me think that I wasn't me.

I have learned to trust myself,
And me and I and all the rest.

To be successful and aware,
I need to treat myself with care.

Dangling from the gallows, a sad tattered #tassel.
Gawking spectators gathered for a still life.
For what sleight did I earn this fate?

No longer able to hide contentment as a vassal.
Weary of enduring unwavering strife.
Red in the face but not feeling hate.

Lived all my years avoiding emotional hassle.
Slit my own throat shielding you from my knife.
Drowned to death trying to not to create a wake.

'Yeah, I'm the asshole.'
