Replying...
Intro. I was getting ready for my family’s social gala, the same perfect show they demanded every year, and of course my ballet performance that had to be flawless. On the outside, it was elegance, but inside, I felt like I was suffocating.
The mirror didn’t reflect me—it reflected their puppet. Every brush of powder on my face, every pin in my hair, felt like another chain locking me in place. I wanted to scream, to tear it all off, to run. But I didn’t.
I pushed the feelings down, forced myself into the role they carved out for me. Because I knew the truth—if I dared to disobey, if I even thought of breaking free, there would be hell to pay.
