SHATTERED GLASS: an acrostic--Award Winner
SHATTERED GLASS: an acrostic

** Image ID #975473 Unavailable **


Shattered glass is what I am,
Hunted, haunted by all.
An image so distorted,
That I don’t know myself.

There was a time when I, too,
Enjoyed a beau visage.
Rosy were my lip and cheek,
Endearing were my looks.

Days of yore will not come back.
Gone are they now for sure.
Lamenting is of no use.
Accept, I must, this fact:

Shattered I am a mirror;
Shattered is my image!
