Fragmented: A Poem on Self-Identity and Being Whole

Intro:
Fragmented is a minimalist poem that explores the fractured self, where identity feels scattered and incomplete. It captures the sensation of searching for wholeness amidst the broken pieces of who we are.

Poem:
i am shards, scattered—
mirror-slice reflections,
thin as air.

piece by piece,
i am less than whole,
the cracks, all that holds me.

wholeness, a myth,
the self, a prism,
each color less than true.
