By Deevanshi Vasishtha
The mirror reflects an unknown face, shadowy eyes, and a heart in danger.
There was no solace to be found as doubts swirled around me like a cyclone, accentuating every flaw.
I wear my scars like constricting chains—
a prisoner of intertwined and twisted thoughts.
While I drown in the darkness, like a dying star,
the laughter of others appears distant.
However, there is still a burning deep beneath the silence.
A spark of hope breaks the chains,
encouraging me to find strength in the struggle,
accept all of my flaws,
learn how to heal,
and eventually expose myself.
Let us begin this self-discovery journey
and turn the tide from darkness to light.
