Crystal

Your crystal palace

is now broken, dent and fractured

all of the facets could not withstand the malice

breaching the walls of a haven shattered.

Objects hit the roof demanding your attention

do you escape or mold the crystal palace?

These challenges do not seek your affection

tender heart could only become calloused. 

Haven struck, haven pained

malleability against harmful mechanisms is a talent

in these nights a lesson must be gained

to impose a safeguard against further lament.

Reflections cast were from other's eyes

leaving an empty shell in their wake

the whispers led to inner demise 

as the mirror only revealed a fake.

The good is okay, it reassures

the bad leaves you in shards of a broken structure

your eyesight is blinded from your treasure

these opinions are void, ignore the manufacturers. 

Rebuild anew for the remnants creak

a stronghold made to not be bent

cover the mirrors in velvet sheets

so outside voices can't make a dent.

A stone palace now remains

the walls echo as an image shines

Only one voice it contains

Mine.
