He stumbles home at midnight.
Piss drunk.
Falls into a rose bush.
Thorns bite into his face.
He curses, picks himself up, and somehow makes it to the front door.
Rings the bell.
His wife opens it - eyes sharp, arms crossed.
"Are you drunk?"
He straightens up. Clears his throat.
"No."
She stares.
He stares back.
A silent war.
Finally, she sighs and lets him in.
He smirks. He’s won. Fooled her!
Or so he thinks.
Morning comes.
She yells from the kitchen.
"So, you weren’t drunk last night?"
He frowns.
"No!"
"Go check the bathroom mirror."
He drags himself in. Blinks. Freezes.
His reflection stares back…
…face shredded with scratches, dried blood.
The band-aids aren’t on his face.
They’re stuck to the mirror.
And that’s how most people try to fix their lives.
Stress. Anxiety. Depression. Low self-worth.
They drink. Smoke. Binge. Scroll mindlessly.
Anything to numb the pain.
Anything to avoid looking in the mirror.
But the real wounds stay.
Still bleeding underneath.
No job, no relationship, no distraction will fix it.
You have to look where the pain actually is.
Look WITHIN.
IN is the ONLY way out.
