The Window

As she tried to live with the battle in her mind......
She tried to live and find a place of comfort, a place...familiar. No place was found. She reached far and wide but there didn't seem to be a door. There was a window a distance away with a light that seemed to billow through and it kind of hurt her eyes. She tried to gaze through to see something but she just turned away because the harder she looked the more it hurt her eyes. She couldn't get out so she just stood against the window because it felt safe....
The girl grew tired of waiting and standing and her eyes hurt. So the girl closed her eyes to rest them a bit. But then it was too dark to see. She walked around with tired eyes, feeling for something familiar. As time went on her fear seemed to leave and she began to see in the darkness. But her eyes became used to the dark, they no longer hurt from the light. The girl soon forgot about the window with the light.
Eventually, everything she knew to be familiar wasn't at all what it seemed to be. She started to question why she could see in the dark when there wasn't any light. She became confused. The things that once seemed to make sense did no longer. So she decided to search again for the window with the light, where it seemed safe. As she looked, she grew tired.
She walked for so long and finally to her surprise she came to the window. The light wasn't too strong for her eyes. She could actually look into the window. But when she was able to look in, she was astonished at what she saw. The window was a mirror and the light she saw was herself. Suddenly it was familiar, she became aware of what she was. But now that she knew, she was sad. For the light had become so dim.
