1 The Truth

What do you see when you stand in front a mirror? Can you see an image of a person who is known to be your reflection who seems known yet unknown? Do you know that person in front of you who looks exactly like you? There are so many stories behind those eyes when you look at it, some said and some remains unsaid. You can see so many emotions in those eyes.. You can see secrets hidden beneath those eyes.. This person seems so different yet the same as you. While you hide your emotions and feelings from the world,the person shows you them.. Some of them you acknowledge and some of them you want to hide. This person is not the same person you try to potray to the world. This person looks weak, fragile, innocent, naive, powerless, helpless and sympathetic just like a child who is afraid and scared, who wants to be loved and cared. This person is so self-conscious that you feel so degrading. This person seems to have the air of melancholy. 'What has she went through?' 'Why is she so sad?' 'Why does she look so fragile as if she is going to fade away?' 'Why is she so hurt and lonely?' Yes,she seems so lonely as if she is all alone but scared to be alone. 'But why?' These question comes into your mind when you look at her. Yet, this person is none other than you. Then once again you ask yourself, 'Is this me?' 'Is that what i look like?' You seem to not recognize that person in front of you.

No matter how much i want to hide or deny but this person is really me. The image which I don't want no one to know. The image which shows my deepest fear and weaknesses. The image which is completely opposite from the one i potray. Yet it is me. My truth.

'Do i know me?' 'Do i recognize the true me anymore?' i ask myself trying to forget who really i am and being someone who is not really me.
