Broken and Self Hate

I look in the mirror
And what I see is broken
Without cracks in glass
I trace my face
With my finger on the mirror
Blood trickling
As if it had been cut

I sigh and stare deeply
Into my red puffy eyes
My sobs keep crawling
Back up my throat
No matter how much
I allow myself to cry
There's still the repetitive
Self loathing and apologetic self
Inside me
Wishing to scream

I just swallow it back
And clean my mystery wound
Dabbing water into my eyes
To keep back the tears
And cool the heat
I take a deep breath
And leave my reflection
But my heart
Still chipping away
