A piece of glass with bordered edges
meant to hide the sharpness,
be it rectangular or circular in shape.
Hanging on the wall,
resting on the floor,
silent but loud.
Tell us how we look,
shoot back images,
project us onto larger screens,
send messages to our brains.
We believe them,
listen to the deceit,
fall victim to the lies,
a piece of glass.
With bordered edges,
still just as sharp,
still just as mean.
A piece of glass,
if not shattered,
shatters your.
