I wrote this short paragraph during one of Trey Anthony’s workshops. It’s not about anyone in particular, but it came from an exercise she had us go through. I was quite happy with what came out of it.

The Man in the Mirror
by: Crystal Coburn

Ask him 20 questions and he’ll give you 20 answers. A thoroughbred birthed to fulfil the brightest destiny. He was always confident, even from birth. He has broad shoulders, claims an above average height, boasts smooth skin, is clean shaven, and has a deeply soft, but assertive voice. Just beautiful. As a creation beyond God’s talent he became the model to measure greatness by. His strides were long and ambitiously filled with the excitement of finding the next best thing. He only went forward in life, never backwards. People looked at him with intense commitment whenever he walked into the room. No kids. No wife. And happily single. If anyone knew that at home he filled his hours with escorts to fill the voids that he always said no woman could they would be in disbelief. He pulled all nighters with two, maybe three if the first or second weren’t good enough. Once they left he curled up in a ball and cried about a mother who never let him cry.
