(In the midddle of the night after a troubling nightmare, Donavan goes to the bathroom and takes quite a long look at himself in the mirror. Suddenly, his reflection starts talking to him about his greatest problem - adversity.)
Reflection: Adversity's tryna take over you
Starting with your mind
If he enter sanity's castle
That's the end of the line!
Donavan: He's already on our property
The ground of our estate
It's inevitable, he Will infiltrate
But to stop him, it's not too late
Reflection: Wait...listen
Donavan: That's him
(The lightbulb implodes, and a few seconds later, the dark is illuminated by the mirror with 5 cracked reflections of him. However, these reflections are the beings from his nightmare only he sees them as himself. He is in disbelief for a few seconds but then his face expression goes from shocked to serious.)
Donavan: Whoaaa!
Reflections: What's wrong
Don't like yourself
I don't blame you
If I was you I wouldn't like myself!
You're a waste
A disgrace
A failure
And a Born Mistake!
You're the reason Mommy got into drugs
You're the reason she's dead
Do you really believe those saying it's not your fault
Of course it is, get that through your head!
(After hearing those words, Donavan becomes furious. He speaks normal tone at first, but as he goes on the rage in his voice is beyond noticeable.)
Donavan: I'm no longer afraid
You're nothing more than a fear to face
So here's my face
And watch me lift you over my shoulders like the world's weight!
Make no mistake
Full responsibility for that I take
But she still loves me
Even to this very day
As for you
I'm stonger than you
Your words mean nothing to me
But mines do, so listen fool
If you're an obstacle
I'll overcome
If you're college homework
You will get done
Because I'm tryna graduate
Use you like an escalator and escalate
Like an elevator and elevate
To an undiscovered level
Adversity
Adversary
You are an enemy
But a temporary
As I speak
I see you tearing
No more I'm scared of you
Now you are scared of ME!
I'm high authority
So I salute myself
There are 6 of me
So be gone if you aren't MYSELF!!!
(The mirror's illumination dies and deteriorates back to whole. The dark becomes light and all Donavan sees...is one man with one goal.)
