Mirror & I
Mirror & I
Today
Again I failed.
Again I am insulted by others.
Again I didn’t complete my work.
Again I don’t have any excuse.
Again I have to listen another story.
And again I am repeating this all words.
Today I want an answer.
Hey god, can you give me an answer?
Hey, you are listening or not. Give me an answer you know everything. Tell me why I failed always.
But again I don’t get the answer.
Again god didn’t help me.
Again I ask myself … should I ask my friend ?
No. They can not understand my feelings.
Ummm should I ask my parents ?
No no no I can’t .. yesterday my father scolded me. And my mother also supported him.
Then who will help ?
And again I am crying .
Again my heart is getting pain.
Now I am not able to think .
I want to die.
But again I can’t because I don’t have guts.
I am crying. I should not weep now I should wash my eyes. Otherwise someone will come.
Now l need to go to the washroom. I got up and went in front of the mirror. I saw myself in front of the MIRROR .
Image - suddenly I am looking at myself continuously. I am not able to understand what is happening. I am scared. I don’t know why I am staring myself.
Few minutes after I feel that I am taking myself in front of the mirror. I am confused as to what is happening. But I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to go back .Somewhere I am getting myself.
Then few minutes after I heard something .
"Hey"
Who said hey? What is happening?
Again another sound come
"Hey look at me”
I was scared .. I wanted to go back.
"Hey look at me .. don’t go back.”
"Just look in the mirror.”
"I am you”
"I am your answer”
I stopped.. mirror is talking with me or I am in the mirror.
I said .. hey
Mirror replied : Hey …. what happened?
Now I felt comfortable . I said you can not understand my feelings, you are a mirror.
Mirror : Why do you cry every time?
Me : Because I fail again and again and again.
Mirror : Who told you that you failed?
Me : Rubbish !! I know myself, I have failed many times.
Mirror : Tell me in which race you failed.
Me : I didn't participate in the race.
Mirror : Then how did you fail?
I think myself how I failed ? I am not in the race then how I failed.
Mirror : What you are thinking? Tell me.
Me : I..I..I..I am not good at studying
Mirror : So?
Me : But my parents only depend on studies.
Mirror : so… just study.
Me : They don’t know that nowadays so many opportunities have come .. technologies and modernisation has come. I can do another thing.
Mirror : What do you want to be?
Me : I don’t know but I am doing engineering..
Mirror : But you are not good at studying
Me : ya but I am an average student. I never fail in school.
Mirror : Then why you cry always? Why you slap yourself ?
Me : Because I don’t have any talent. My friends are goods in music and others are good in sports.
And some have a relationship.
Mirror : Ohh, you are feeling jealous.
Me : No, I respect them but I am not like my friends, they are active.
Mirror : And what your friends don’t have?
Me : I am 6 ft, they are not. I respect others talent, but they tease. Somewhere I am good in other activities. They have some bad habits but I don’t have…
Mirror : It means you are better than your friends.
Me : I don’t know but maybe I am good.
Mirror : But you failed. Have you ever completed your race.
Me : I told you I am not in the race.
Mirror : If you are in the race then?
Me : I don’t care how many participants are there. How many students are sitting in the exam hall. They all are not my body parts, why should I count people .. if I am going to give an exam that time I have one pen, one sheet, 3 hours and one mind, I will write myself .. I don’t care who is writing or not.
Mirror : If you are not in the race, If you don’t care how many people are participating . Then why do you cry.
I was looking continuously in the mirror. I started thinking of all my failures. I started thinking how many times I didn’t understand my reality. I took long breath .. and saw the Mirror, My eyes are shining now. And I have only one word to say in front of the Mirror.
Thank you Mirror
