Shattered.

What one sees in themselves when they are looking into a mirror, in their reflections, are a compilation of their actions and decisions. They choose to wear the clothes they are wearing. The accessories they may have, such as hats, watches, rings, etc is also their discretion. But what they can control is the fact that they are still standing, still looking at themselves. When one makes that choice, to not look at themselves anymore, they are essentially shattering the glass; breaking it up into pieces so fine, that it can never be reconstructed. When someone breaks a mirror, they are often too scared of getting into trouble to clean it themselves, so they'll often leave it alone and wait for someone else to find the shattered glass.

One person's carelessness can lead to a few people's discomfort, because they have to clean up the glass, throw it away, get a new mirror, and get it delivered. People don't realize how much effort goes into making a mirror, or all the people that are involved in the manufacturing process. There could be hundreds of people involved, trying to put out the best product they can, but when all is said and done, someone broke the mirror for a reason. Shattered.
