Broken Mirror Poem by Kewayne Wadley

I fear being happy as its been too
Long since I have been.
I've dreamed in vivid color the day someone would come along
And teach me the difference.
But as the day grows shorter I fear that day will never come.
The constant guard of self doubt.
Deep rooted in self introverted thoughts.
I fear that if I do fall it will be hard and it will all be a lie.
Could I ever expose myself in such way.
The passion of wanting to love,
Needing the love of an everlasting imprint left on my heart, never to fade.
As deep as I want to love,
I lack the reassurance needed to fall freely,
The courage to reveal my passion in fear of falling face first back into the doubt of being too happy.
I am afraid that I have become too broken to smile in the gleam of an untarnished mirror
