A little lost without you...

Things happened to him, like the crying fits, the panic attacks, but they seemed to descend on him from outside, rather than emanating from somewhere inside himself. And then he found himself standing in a room, looking around, seeing thousands of himself. He banged the walls made of mirrors, but they wouldn't break. Their laugh filled his heart and with fear, he curled up and sat there. And then she came out of nowhere and wrapped her arm around him. She held his hand, together they got up and walked towards a wall. He raised his head and looked at the reflections, but all he saw there was only himself. She turned and smiled at him and touched the wall. It cracked and shattered into pieces. She inside him broke all the walls around him. He was free, or at least one step closer to accepting his new reflection.
