The mirror
What girl looks inside a mirror and sees her real beauty? I keep looking into this reflective decoration hoping to find what everyone else tells me. Gorgeous, One of a kind, Beautiful, what anyone would want to see. As I glance I only become more disgusted with what I see. I want to rip off my flesh layer by layer and let new skin grow. Be a creature no one dares seek out, maybe then they will see what I see. A girl not worthy of love or even happiness. I seem to get lost in my eyes, staring into a whirlpool of green. Seconds turn into minutes, as I keep staring, finally I break glance and shake my head backing away. I feel dizzy, light headed. Can’t focus, I grab onto the wall but its to late. I fall banging my head onto the bathtub, sending me into a dark abyss. The darkness surrounds me, I feel lighter than air. Everything is so crisp and magical. A ribbon of blue comes into vision swirling around me, dancing in my newfound world. I’m happy for the first time. Colors keep swirling around me forming a new world right before my eyes. It’s a field full of beautiful red and purple flowers. A huge tree with a swing pops out of nowhere. Its like my dreams are becoming reality. I run towards the tree, but I stop suddenly. Everything is becoming static. I can hear someone 1…2…3…. Come on, we can still save her..1…2…all I can see is white. My focus starts coming back slowly and my head is throbbing with pain. I can see two men above me, both looking relieved. “Whats..” before I can finish, one man silences me, “Its ok little darling, you hit your head pretty hard, gashed it too . Your landlady found ya, lucky girl, she saved your life.” They lift me out to the ambulance, and all I can think of is that tree, and how I was so close to happiness. Maybe next time, I can stay.
