Don't Be The Person In Mirror

By: TayTay

By Tay TayPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

No matter how hard I try, I would always look back and go to my mirror. No

matter how hard I looked at my mirror, I would view a whole other world

on the other side. The other side had something new and had someone

standing in front of me that could've been me but wasn't. I then knew what I

really wanted, and that was to be apart of this other world. Me and the other

person in the mirror would switch sides very often without hesitation.

Before I realized it, the real me became trapped within the mirror one day.

The fake me would go have fun, laugh, and smile in my place. This other

person that wasn't me did show a new world that I saw inside the mirror at

first, but then things changed. This person took things too far, making

others uncomfortable, made people feel not wanted, and made many

mistakes and wounds to the heart. This person was making my world change

alright, but not in the way I expected. I ended up alone and my heart felt

like it was turning into a black hole. I would hide in my room, not knowing

where I belonged anymore. I had to look at the mirror one last time. As the

real me stood before me and cried along with the fake me, I said "It never

had to be like this."

We switched sides for the last time. My mistakes couldn't be fixed, people

will be coming for me and making fun of me like I am now the enemy, and I

will remain alone unless I start over. I started over like I planned and I

ended up making some friends. These friends were all I needed and they

enjoyed the real me better. I learned my lesson that the mirror I always

called for help will not be missed ever again. The darkness inside my heart

started to fade. The real me is what matters most to people. The real me is

what people love. The real me is what makes me, me.
