Being normal is what we all want right? If you're not normal then you there must be something wrong right? Something is wrong with you and must be fixed. How they fix you not being normal is the normal ones will beat you down physically and mentally. You're called the freak, the fucked up one, drifter, or even a loner. They try to change you to the image that they see as normal.
I know this all too well. I sit here on my bed staring into my mirror in this empty room. There is only one source of light that is in this room. The light is the moon light that is shining through my window. The light is just bright enough to see myself through the mirror that I'm so concentrated on.
I've changed myself just to fit in and I hate it. I angrily stair into my reflection and this anger sharply turns into sadness as I look at myself. What they see as normal I see as a freak.
"I HATE YOU" I scream into the mirror
I'm a monster now. The reflection smiles at me and stands up
"Isn't this you wanted? To fit in and be loved by others and not forgotten?"
"Yes but I didn't want to become you"
The reflection smile suddenly turned into a angered look "ITS NOT MY FAULT! You're the one that did this to us"
I close my eyes and look down as a tear escapes my eyes "I know I did"
My reflection calms down "Bailey look at me"
I look up and its kneeled down looking at me with a smile. The moon light shining down on it. Revealing what it truly looked like. It looked like it was dking in some parts including his face. It was as skinny as a stick and its whole body looked out of place. Its smile looked dark with his teeth looking like daggers. Its teeth were dark yellow and its hair looked like it was falling out as long with everything else on it. It was reaching out for me.
"Come here Bailey ill make all this pain go away. I'll make you accepted like you've always wanted"
I jumped back a little and got startled "no you're not me! What are you?!"
Its hand was slowly going through the mirror "I am you. Now take my hand I can help you is that not what you want?"
"NO GET AWAY" I shouted in fear. But by this time It got its whole arm through and now was starting to get its head through.
"Now now Bailey is that how you truly feel? Just let go and come to me"
The moon light was slowly fading away making the room darker. I couldn't move I was in frozen.
"GET THE FUCK UP" I shouted at myself but it was too late. The creature was fully out standing over me
"Don't worry you're frozen because you want this to happen. You may deny it but you are all the same wanting release and I'm here to give you release." The creature had a sinister smile on its face while saying that. Suddenly my room darkness and I feel I deep pain in my chest with sounds of bones cracking and blood dripping.
