Crystal Ball
I gaze into a crystal ball to see my future
The ball was blank,
is that what my future looks like
I couldn't accept it,
so I glimpse at it again,
still the same result
In true frustration,
this was my last hope
I picked up the crystal ball
And throw it hitting a wall
shattering in millions of pieces
Symbolic of my life,
a million directions,
none of them leading anywhere
One piece landed at my feet
I went to pick it up and stop,
staring back at me was
My mother's face, sadness in her eyes
One tear trapped on her eyelash
I picked up the piece of shattered glass
Looking closely at her face
and then I realize
I was starring at myself
