Daily writing prompt
Would you prefer writing a poem to answering a silly question?

Why, yes I would, thank you. Honestly, today’s prompt did zero for me, so I am flipping it to use for my own purposes. Apologies to those who were looking for an actual reply to the prompt! 😊

The mirror black

A shattered dream

Within your mind

A silent scream

You cast an eye

Back to the past

Life came apart

Unraveled fast

Eternal waste

Of hope that died

A million tears

Each one you cried

To better days

That dream is lost

It’s over now

Not worth the cost

Glass to the skin

The cut so deep

This darkened pain

Is all you’ll keep

It’s all you have

So hold it tight

In mirror black

You’ll find no light

KHR, March 2025
