When I'm in the mood
for hammering mirrors,
I flip open photo albums
that double as accusations.
Your smiles compose the jury,
the pictures of me
exhibits A through W.
I learn that you can
spell the word guilty
in skeptical looks
alone.

Love the ending... i think there's a lot that can be read into this.
Intriguing though, enjoyed it.

I am an addict in recovery, and I know the stigma that is equated to addiction and addicts. For a very long time I carried the veil of shame in my purse, until one day I left the windows down and it blew out and away. That's what I feel after reading your poetry. Thank you for this cleverly written entry. I wish you the best in the challenge.
Much Love & Respect ♥
