4. Mirror
There is no one in the mirror but myself.
And the reflection refuses to change.
It stares as I do, and smiles when I do, but always seems like it's mocking me. I never see what it does when I blink, but it can still see me, for when I open my eyes, it's mimicing me still. Perfectly.
And if I use the Byakuugan to look at it, I can see it is still copying me. A copycat, really. I am the real thing. Aren't I? Or am I just some girl trapped in a mirror.
I don't want to stay here. I want to get out, and away. I want to change. I can change.
But I will never defeat the mirror. Just a stupid piece of glass, that's all it is. Though we're all trapped to it, gazing at ourselves, trying to imagine ourselves better. I've seen Neji-niisan and Hanabi do it too.
I guess I feel sorry for the people trapped in the mirror, though. They can never change unless we do. They can never grow and build themselves.
I wave at myself in the mirror, and she waves back.
But I can walk away, and she'll just vanish, waiting until my reflection is needed again. To remind me that I am changing.
That I am not the one trapped in a mirror.
