She walked into the empty house, room by room. Rooms are
starting to blur together into one empty space full of memories that were kept
at bay. As she reaches for the door handle to her old room from a time ago, she
can't believe what she sees before her eyes. There are mirrors around the room
and pictures of her past are on the ground. She knows why they are there. They
are placed inside the room because she walked away alone from being unhappy in
her eyes.
Her eyes alone have
always told her true story to anyone who wants sees into her core.
She may look happy to those who are around but her eyes say
something different. No matter, how hard she tried to be happy and fine on the outside,
she wasn't in her soul.
When no one was around, her mask is dropped on the ground
and alone she is. She cried most of the time about where she was in life and
how she had gotten there in the first place. She stepped into the past, over
the threshold into her life that still has a hold of her, before she ever walked
away. She started Sink into the ground
as if it was quicksand beneath her feet. Then she looked up above through the
ceiling and asked for help in a wispier. To the voice to help her understand,
why her were eyes are in need to see something again.
For the help she needs to understand, by God. To let her go
back to her innocence and to all of those who are gone in this world which were
too precious by all means, taught her to be great. She wants to see her twinkle
she once had back into her eyes, not for a moment but forever. Take away the
knowledge of things, she wishes she didn't know.
In the room of mirrors she weeps quietly for a while. A
voice tells her to rise and go to the nearest standing mirror. As she does, the
voice says, "Watch closely". The mirror changes into a picture of her
past then is zoomed into one moment. That single moment was shared between a
granddaughter and a grandfather. The moment was a sad day and a great day in a
pinch of a few seconds. A man started to forget who people were but his
granddaughter walked in and changed things. They locked eyes with one another,
his eyes danced with joy and he said her name. She said, “yes" and her
eyes turned the love for him in her eyes as well. They have always shared the
same twinkle by caring and the respect for others.
The moment started to
fade away from her and back into her reflection of herself in the room. The
voice came back to speak again, “Listen to yourself, you still have all that
you think you lost in spades. You have that twinkle inside of you and it's
ready to be released. And you have the strength and the mind to achieve all you
want in life. You have to want it for yourself, you are ready to move on to
better moments then dwell on what you don't have or things you can't change. Believe,
you are worth the fight to be in your own bliss on your own mountain top.
The voice said things; she needed to hear out loud and to
remember herself by being free. “You need to remember that speech, you received
when you were a little girl. Look across the room". She looked across the
room into the rectangle mirror floating on the wall. The reflection turned into
another picture of her past. She was walking up the hill with her uncle to school
one morning. It was the beginning of the speech she was about receive from a
man who understood her at a young age before she could understand herself
before he left. He said, "What I am about to tell you is what I see in you
and what I know who you will be in life." The girl looking into the mirror
smiled because she forgot.
"You will never do things like everyone else does and
people won't like that but you will be successful. You will struggle with those
around you and fight with those you care deeply about. You will walk away from
those who try to break you and that's okay, it's not the end. You will have
road after road of blocks taking down paths you don't want to be, but learn
from every path you go on. There will be people who break your heart slowly and
some quickly. But don't forget the right one will come around the corner and
see you for who you are with pieces in places. Give them a chance because they
want to take a chance with you. It will be hard to trust and let someone in but
let them see you. Promise me, that you will stop yourself from doing others
work and holding back on yourself, that's not fair because you have the
strength and courage to explore all that comes your way. Be you through it all
and try to stay the way you were made in your heart by following what’s best
for you alone, no other influences should stop you from being where you should
be. When you can't remember this moment and keep it locked in you. You may not
remember it all and that's okay, knowing a little is better than knowing
nothing at all. You will go through moments, you will never understand why you
did go through them but it’s a life worth watching. Look at these moments from
every angle to understand, why you are seeing it in the first place".
The moment she longed
for started to disappear within the mirror. The girl stared at the mirror for a
while and said, "Thank you, I needed a reminder, I am strong, I am wise, I
am ready". The room around her started to move, mirrors started to disappear
and one by one they went. And the pictures on the ground started to move
together to form a phrase, "You are ready". Then the pictures started
to evaporate all together in the air and to the universe. The room she once though,
she could never leave is not here anymore to hold her back. She wants to find
out what life has before for her, the woman she always knew she could be
someday and that someday starts now.
