When Will My Reflection Show Who I Am Inside Novels & Stories

"You just proved you're not me." The reflection stared back at me. "...You've got to be kidding." The reflection closed its eyes for a moment. "Am I really this dense?" I bristled. "Don't say that. You're the stupid one." The reflection let out a quiet, strained laugh. "We're wasting time." Its voice lost some of its earlier calm. "I've already told you—there is no 'you' and 'me.' We're the same person." It held my gaze.

What if I’d already lost too much? And more than anything— What if someone wanted me to forget? I turned toward the corner of the room where an old mirror stood propped against the wall. My reflection stared back—messy hair, haunted eyes, sweat drying on my skin. I looked like a man trapped in a body that didn’t belong to him. “Who the hell are you?” I whispered to my reflection. It didn’t answer. But something deep inside me did. You’re not safe. You’re not whole. And someone is lying to you.

Again My reflection in the mirror across the room brings me back to my reality. Pale skin, shadows under my eyes and a hollowness I can never quite shake. I barely recognize myself anymore. I now remain a silver of the man I used to be. Thirty-two and worn thin by a past that refuses to stay buried.

I asked Kaitlyn who gave me a side hug. “Who knows? Maybe you will make new friends. As long as they don't come backstabbing with underhanded tricks, that is,” Kaitlyn said to me, forcing me to smile despite what I was feeling. We returned to our room where I went straight to the bathroom and froze as my reflection crossed its arms around its chest. My heart began to beat painfully. “You know, you are getting harder and harder to get a hold on these days. Are you by chance avoiding me?” My reflection asked and I felt my jaw hit the ground. I quickly looked to ensure that the door was shut tightly and my reflection laughed.

My body felt… foreign. I pointed toward the mirror desperately. “M—Mirror…” I managed to whisper. The nurse hesitated, then grabbed the handheld mirror from the table and handed it to me. My trembling fingers gripped it tightly. And the moment I saw my face up close, my heart stopped. That wasn’t the 24-year-old Eli who’d worked part-time jobs, who’d scraped together money for a secondhand suit, who’d told Caleb goodbye that morning. This was a boy, no older than ten, maybe even younger.

“I’m not letting that thing wear her face and fool us all.” Kaela hesitated, eyes flicking with something I couldn’t read—worry or pity. “Just don’t face her alone.” I didn’t answer. Because I already knew I would. Later that day, I found myself in the east wing, standing before an old silver mirror. It was one of the pack relics—said to reveal a soul’s true form. My reflection stared back, tired eyes, clenched jaw. Normal. Until she walked by. Her reflection lingered behind mine, even when she’d already passed. And it smiled. Wide. Wrong.

9 I salivated with difficulty, looking at myself and my reflection: What do you want to look like this? My reflection showed a disapproving face and I couldn't find an answer and I feel like doing this is going to drive me crazy, I sighed deeply and whispered with encouragement: It's okay... It's okay!9 Then I walked out of the room slowly towards the living room, and only found two people! A woman looks in her mid-forties and a man looks close to her age as well!

Her nemesis ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 (Meanness lies with us 🔪😈) Season 2 Episode 12 (Once upon a…) #Harley I stand in front of my bathroom mirror with tears welled up my eyes, am in my night wears ready to sleep but can’t. I mean the life I thought was perfect wasn’t a bit perfect, my life I thought was perfect isn’t the least perfect at all. What exactly is it I need to be the girl I always want to be. ‘Who are you?’ I asked my self, or my reflection. She replied giggling, jumping around the mirror with full smiles and laugh. While I stare, I stare at her with full sadness and teary eye.

“….Who is that girl I see…staring straight back at me…why is my reflection someone I don’t know….somehow I can not hide…who I am though I’ve tried….when will my reflection show…who I am inside…” Elleanna put the pancake onto an empty plate and continued cooking and singing not noticing the small crowd of people watching her. “How I pray…that a time will come…I can free myself and meet their expectations….On that day, I’ll discover someway to be myself…and to make my family proud…They want a docile lamb….No-one knows who I am….Must there be a secret me…I’m forced to hide…Must I pretend that I am someone else for all time…When will my reflection show…who I am inside….when..will..my reflection

My heart skipped. In the following days, I became obsessed with mirrors and reflections. Every polished surface became a test — windows, spoons, even the dark screen of my phone. More than once, my reflection lagged behind me, twisting into expressions I wasn’t making, or held a gaze that felt too knowing. I confided in Maya during one of our coffee meetings. “I think I’m losing it,” I admitted, voice trembling. “I see things… strange things. Like my reflection isn’t really mine.”
