Man in the Mirror

Does your reflection scare you? When you look at yourself what do you see? Can you find a monster in your eyes?

When I woke up this morning, I never thought I won’t be able to look at myself. When I put on my favorite yellow dress, I couldn’t imagine having the audacity to set fire to skin that could have been mine. I had never known what could push me off the bend- I had never experienced what inflicting terror tasted like.

It was a bitter taste… mixed with smoke and blood.

Does your reflection scare you? Because I’m human too. Yet, my reflections scares me. A lot.
