Shattered Path

I walk

on broken glass

every day.

I face my fears.

I do things I never imagined I would do.

But in the cobwebs of my mind, I hear myself whispering to me…

Who are you, really?

Are you who they say you are?

Are you what they see?

Do you know how to show them something

different, truer, more real?

Will you let them put you in a little box

or will you expect something better?

Walk on, supergirl.

Stay true to this shattered path, made up of

the detrius of a thousand thousand years

crushed,

by your dreams and lofty goals.

Crushed by your determination

to be something they can’t fathom.

Walk on, supergirl.

Walk this shattered path

and surprise yourself, and find yourself

reflected in the splintered mirror

upon which you tread.

 Walk on, supergirl.
