Ceilings: A Poem

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Texas chapter.

Ceilings

 

There is glass in the sky                             

reflecting the rays of hope and           

yet blinds the eyes of many                      

I feel like I alone                                      

can see                                                              

 

The glass molds to mirror                             

reflecting my dearest sisters                 

hear the scream of all of us                    

for we alone believe                                        

alone

 

Must mirror be of glass?        

reflections of the twisted world     

morphed into a blue black bruise

for glass too

must break

Grace is a Philosophy and Economics double major and a Government minor at the University of Texas at Austin. Most of her writing focuses on politics and civic engagement, characteristically intertwining her journalism with op-ed takes (usually nonpartisan; depends who you ask). Grace enjoys reading philosophy, reading and discussing politics, gushing over her dog, and painting in her spare time. As a true economics enthusiast, she also loves graphs.
