I laid on bed like a corpse
Like I’m being thrown at the sea
I got up because my family can’t shut up
And its soo loud
I stood up and looked at the mirror
“Do i have to go through this again ? ” The face said
The sound got louder and louder that my image in the mirror was shaking
I opened the door and went outside
Only to see a cat standing by the door
“Who are you ?” I asked
“Am i supposed to be anyone ? “The cat responded
“Then why are you here ?”
“I heard you want to run from the mirror , but I’m only going to the sea..”
“Can i lay down there ?”
And so we ran and ran
But the cat was always faster than me
So we went highway
And the roads were all clossed
And a marathon was being held
I always wanted to run
Should i run or should i lay down ?
A girl with glasses approached me , ” do you want to participate?” She asked directly
I didn’t know what to answer , but since I’m already chasing the cat i wrote my name down
I never cared about the race , nor the people racing beside me , the fact that i always felt like that… that I’m just a blurry mirror in the flow of people
They ran , and i ran , and we did
And soon enough i was near sea side , and since I’m there with no one ahead of my sight , then i was the winner
They gave me the prize , but i just wanted to catch the cat
So then i shouted why not make a bargain
“Hey Mr cat , give me yourself and I’ll give you the prize “
The cat always cared for running so she loved the prize
And i turned into a cat-man wandering on the sea
I was always alone
Until i stumbled by a bunch of people throwing a corpse at the sea
I looked at them but the sun was hitting their faces , so all i saw was a shaking light , like the one i saw in the mirror earlier at the morning
“And who are you ?” They asked
“Am i supposed to be anyone ?” The cat-man responded…
