Mirage

Sometimes, we see ourselves lost in the darkness even though we are really in the light.

She fumbled around in the darkness, praying for a sign.

Her hands felt nothing as she grazed the cool wooden floor.

Her eyes burned from the tears and her breathing quickened.

She cries in silence, not making a sound.

Silence filled the room.

Silent is remained for the rest of the night.

She read stories of how dawn broke curses.

But she knew better than that.

Her body spazzed in the darkness.

It was the only way that she knew she was still a person with vital signs.

When she finally closed her eyes to sleep, her world was a sad and lonely one.

Filled with scary uncertainty, all she could do was cry.

She knew the real world wasn't meant for her.

She knew the real world wasn't easy.

Yet, all she knew how to do was pray.

In her dreams she cried out, "Someone please help me."

But no one came to her side.

She fell to her knees and began to sob.

Opening her tear filled eyes, she saw something beneath her.

It was her reflection staring back at her.

She cried more unable to contain her desperation.

And then she woke up back to reality.

But what she didn't realize was.

In her dreams, someone had been there all along.

She just couldn't see through the darkness.

But one day, she will.
