Today, when I woke up this morning, the colours of the world seemed too bright.
Looking in the mirror, I saw myself. Yet something seemed off, a kind of off that would seem unnoticeable unless you were trying to look for something.
It seemed as though the colours behind me shone brighter than myself.
Today my body wasn't made of steel, it wasn't made from brick nor was it made from wood. No, today it was made from glass, but it didn't have a warning labelled 'fragile' in big red letters. Instead, it was blank, giving no warning, no caution to any people that passed by or said a hello.
So I made a choice. Well, my mind and body connection as one made a choice.
And with that, I dragged myself back into my room, locking the door behind me and closing the curtains as I made my way to the safety net that I had made.
I sighed as the blankets hugged my body in a way that made me feel brighter than I was.
And although today the world had outshone me. Although my colours today had dulled and I was made from glass, does not mean they will be tomorrow and if they are, I will return to my safety net, and like a catapillar in a cocoon, in time I will glow again and maybe it might even be brighter than before.
