Past Echoes

Glass Siblings

Glass Siblings

Sep 17, 2023

When you look into a mirror you see another “you”, 

They are similar to you because they like the things you do,

They have the same family, and friends as you,

and most importantly, they have the same emotions as you, 

That is your glass sibling,

It's the first person you should love, 

Doing this will put a smile on your sibling’s face, 

Make them happy and they will do the same for you,

I didn’t treat my sibling with that kindness,


It happened in a flash, 

Before I could blink my eyes I saw all of them, 

One glass sibling had turned into multiple,

I felt a wide range of emotions all at once from seeing the shattered individual pieces, 

Things became too complicated to put into words,

They started babbling, 

Why couldn’t they just stop talking?,

I couldn’t control them, they were messing with my emotions, they were getting out of hand, I couldn’t stop this complicated mess. 


JUST STOP TALKING AND LET ME THINK!


Then, silence. 

The glass siblings were quiet 

There's nothing but white walls and ….. the last brother 

The one that doesn’t speak or does anything 

He made them stop

I got up from the broken glass off the white pavement floor. I made my way to him 

He is nothing, and that's all I see 

He is the empty frame that use to hold my glass sibling 

but now all I see is nothing there.

This is the first published book I wrote in high school. This story was challenging to make in a month. Not only did I have a time crunch, but I also went really deep into this story. The mindset I had as a child and teenager still scares me. I just wanted to be heard, screaming into the sky, until God could even hear me. This is what this story is: an open book to a wounded soul.

If this story was depressing, I'm sorry to ruin your day. However, if it made you smile, I'm glad you stuck for a while.
