She was stuck in an endless loop, more like a room maybe.
She felt suffocated, for the room was overcrowded
yet, the only one containing it was her.
The room was surrounded by mirrors,
forcing her to stare at her reflection in every direction she looked.
She was forced to judge herself,
for the mirrors in the room allowed her to see nothing but her flaws.
She felt the judgment echo in her ears,
as if someone were screaming at her to wake up.
The sound got louder, until she couldn't even hear herself anymore.
She began to scream too then, trying to compete with the Ecco.
But the mirrors had cornered her, and so did her flaws.
She tried to fight the current that pulled her in,
but as she raised her head one more time, she lost her last breath,
for she couldn't swim anymore.
It over came her self-belief, causing her to drown.
Some could say the mirrors caused her death,
but the truth is,
her own self judgement was what took her last breath away.
