Reflection

Date: 3/21/2017

I was walking through a seemingly never ending hallway, trying to find my way out, and struggling to find the right door. Behind every one was a bad memory from my past, and I couldn't close the door until it was through. Finally, the hallway came to an end, and I went I'm through the last door. I found myself in a dark, dense forest. The further I got, the more I could hear someone crying. When I stepped into a clearing after what felt like ten minutes of walking, I found the source of the sound. A girl sat in the fetal position in the middle of the space, crying into her knees. I started to walk towards her. When I was about a foot away from her she went silent. After a moment, the crying began again, in unison with what sounded like insane laughter. The girl suddenly stood up and turned towards me. She wore a black, v-neck t-shirt and blue jeans. No shoes. Her hair was long, straight and black. Her skin was pale white, almost the color of paper. Self-harm scars littered her arm. Her left eye was deeply outlined in black, her iris a deep red. The left side of her mouth was cut into a permanent smile. Her right eye was missing, and blood dropped from the socket like tears. The right side of her mouth was carved into a permanent frown. There was a gaping hole in her chest. She just stood there, staring at me, laughing in pure insanity and crying in absolute agony at the same time. Then I realized I was looking in a mirror, and that girl was me. Can anyone tell me what my dream might mean?
