The Mirror Journey
The worst thing to lose and the hardest thing to find is yourself

The mirror didn't show him who he was
It only reflected his appearance
He saw a face staring back at him
It was someone he didn't recognise
"Who the hell are you?!" He shouted furiously
In reply, he saw the same rage reflected
~~~~~
The mirror didn't seem to know who he was
He was lost and devastated
Did that mean everyone lied to him when he was a child?
Because someone would always point to the mirror and say "Look, that's you!"
But he didn't know who he was anymore
~~~~~
The mirror seemed to not have the answer
It didn't understand the complexity of life
The roller coaster of emotions
The PTSD that came with trauma
The responsibilities that caused stress
And life itself which caused depression and anxiety
~~~~~
The mirror never helped him till the end
So he sought other mirrors to find out who he was
He asked every mirror he came across on his journey
At long last, he found out who he was
This particular mirror had all the answers
It was the mirror in his room at the mental asylum
