She doesn't know who she is or where she came from. She's an orphan to this land. She walks around all day and night trying to find where she belongs. Lost in the shadows of her own mind. Time passes by slowly almost as if it doesn't change at all. She's looking for the way out, but only finds more dark hallways filled with memories.
Each door is a new surprise. What will be behind each one? What will she find? Will she find the answer she searches endlessly for? The hallway is always getting longer. More doors filling it up. Each one is filled with secrets and memories her mind has locked away to keep her safe. Some are locked tight not even she can open them. She tries and tries, but they do not budge. She peaks through the cracks; all she sees is darkness.
This hallway has become her life now. Entrapped in finding out what each door holds behind it.

Reasons
She looks through the window and sees only herself. She’s tired and distraught but theirs no rest in sight. She looks at her reflection and tries to remember and easier time. A time where the pain wasn’t so deep. When the hate wasn’t burning from deep within. She struggles to find it and wonders to herself if it has always been their and she just didn’t realize it. She stares past her reflection looking out into the world. The world that scares her and makes her want to stay inside and away from everyone. When did that even happen? When did the idea of going outside become something she feared? She realizes new fears have developed without her knowledge. She focuses back on her own reflection and asks herself “should we keep fighting”?
