Mirror

I  slept  after  reading  Milton's paradise  lost  and  the  description of  Eve  falling in   love with  her own  reflection  . I  had  a  dream  -  In that dream  i woke up to a  beautiful  meadow  with  lush  green  grass , a  flowing  river  which  sounded  like a peal of bells when the light shone on the river the water droplets sparkled like diamonds and the dew drops on grass looked like emeralds looking to my left and right i found a huge oval shaped mirror twined with fragile creepers i hesitated but went to look in the mirror
               when i saw my reflection i was shocked all i could see was only a pair of  eyes gawking at me but the rest of me is covered strips of white cloth i was mummified alive i started to pull the strips off me but it was hard i wanted to scream but i could not each strip which wound me in the name of society , gender , class, religion , language ,and nationality .
                       I put in a lot of  effort in breaking the hold of this bondage, but i couldn't because the threads of the strips were strong like culture, heredity and tradition the strips were meant for a beautiful cloth to protect me  but this was excess and it did not cater to its original purpose and it was suffocating and in the attempt of breaking bond the mirror shattered and my dream too.
                and when i woke up from my dream i realized that i was not mummified but definitely bound.
