My inner demon is a metaphor for a very frightening situation.I have been unable to trust anyone for a really long time. Whether they be friends or family, well, for strangers it was easier to talk to. Any physical contact was like a sharp knife. I suppose I built a mental block to keep it from destroying me, but from what I've observed now, I also destroyed many bonds with many people who I loved. Reestablishing them now will be a tough task, so I have come to accept things are they are now. C'est la vie. It's time to move on.... What many of you have experienced are indeed true demons. For me, this was something I knew that few people could relate to, and being at that early stage in my life has led to a deeper understanding of who I am. I hope no one has to ever go through what I did in order to be here as I am today. I've accepted it as a part of me, but letting go to see the truth can be just as difficult as starting life all over again. Fear, Anger and Hate. These things serve only to remind us the frailty of the human race. A single step and we're in the animal kingdom. Even so, some things in life are out of our control. Sometimes, we lose ourselves in the darkness and someone has to bring the light back before we can see the world clearly again. Often times, I don't want to face that reality. But who here can deny there are people who wouldn't waste a second to take advantage of you? Inevitably, we're left to our own devices.
Fortunately, there are good people in this world. It's whether or not we can see it as truth that determines what we will do next.
I would want to live longer...
