When I Look In The Mirror

To people crossing the street I am a stranger, to my classmates I’m a friend, and to my family I’m a treasure.

But really inside I feel like a stranger to myself. An unknown face that’s stars back at me in the mirror.

The closer I looked, the stranger it got. But out of all, what horrified me the most was seeing my reflections smirk, even though I didn’t move a muscle.

The lights went out but my reflection was still shown clearly. The smirk turned into a smile , and the smile into a laugh. As I backed away my reflection came closer. As my eyes widened I watched my reflection crawl out of the mirror, with a big smile on its face. A smile that would make your blood run cold. It kept getting closer and closer. The idea of running seemed impossible. My body was frozen unwillingly. I couldn’t take my eyes off of this creature, which no longer represented my face.

The lights turned back on within seconds, and I looked back at the mirror seeing myself, and only myself. It was back to original like nothing had happened. I grabbed the door and flung it open. I ran out with no idea we’re I was going. I never knew what lived inside of me till know.
