Is there a place in this world for me? Will there be time for me to see? I am afraid. Frightened. Petrified to the core. I am useless and forgotten. In this life is there more? Am I missing the point by looking so hard? I am confused and alone; sad and unknown...to myself.
I stare into the mirror. The reflection is not me. Who is that? Is that what they see? "Who are you?" I ask aloud to the person in the mirror. I am not proud. She is older and different. A stranger is looking back at me. She mimics my movements, but I see no thoughts. When there is no mirror, the thoughts are surrounding me, vivid for all to see. Transparent? Not me.
My body has a mask. Walls built up in a flash. Over the years rebuilt and repaired. Stronger than ever, I do not dare to break through the walls to find out who's there.
