And finally,she decided to see it,to face that mirror for the first time thinking that she might not see anything else but her face , of course her face wasn't the reason why she wanted to stand in front of this mirror,it was the enormous curiosity to know why they were too afraid to look straight into its crystal eyes , too scared to stare at it even for the smallest second in the entire universe,that was the only reason why she ever thought about facing that mirror,the reflection wasn't even close to being a monster as she thought once,it was as clear as the sun,true like the sky is blue ,obvious like a shining star in the night sky ,more terrifying than how she thought it would be,there it was : the truth .
No make-up no fake smiles not a single thing of what she ever appeared to be,she saw the only real thing about her , who she really was , even the darkest spot of the corners of her soul , it was there- and despite its ugliness - with all the clearance of all existence ...
Of course she had that feeling of not being able to breath , she tried to scream but all the words , the letters , the sounds seemed to leave her armless ... defenseless , she couldn't stand that mirror,the want ...no the NEED to break it was more powerful than she ever was & ever will ,now the reflection is broken into pieces but the truth will always be whole .
She run away thinking that she might escape what was living within her , hoping that she'll succeed ...
The old man , the only witness , gathered the shattered pieces , eyes closed , even he -and despite all his wisdom- didn't have the guts to face it again , and then he stared deeply at the young man who's turn is next and said : people will always look for the truth , but none of them will ever stand looking at it , the young man didn't figure out why he said that back then , no one ever did , they were always too excited to face the mirror that they never bothered themselves to ask why he says that ...
The old man smiled despite the pain and said again : I hope that you wouldn't mind looking at yourself in this mirror , or better still I hope that you'd have the guts I never had to look at yourself again ... The young man never had it ... No one ever did...
But the universe didn't know her yet ... She , and unlike them , knew who she was and most of all she accepted it ... And that was the whole point !
