Soldier

Somewhere inside of me, lies an imaginary soldier. This fierce, fearless soldier is ready to fight anyone, anything. Why bleed and contaminate the world with the filth of violence, when your inner soldier is ready to bleed thoughts and corrupt your mind. Demons or no demons, this soldier bleeds to make you live.

Poker faces, funny laughter. You think there's no demon behind this fellow? Never were you, or will be so wrong! Just how the light makes its place in the darkness, and it is the dark that always prevails, our demons always will be beneath the fake and futile mask of happiness.

Futile. Why futile? To be happy isn't futile. When a kid compares his father to Iron Man - that's happiness. However, when the father tries to show himself more to be like Iron Man when he actually feels like Batman? That's not happy. That's futile. That's when happy becomes futile.

One can fight to achieve what they want. Provided when it's fighting others. But, when you have to fight yourself, it's this soldier inside of you that helps. With everything said and done, it honestly doesn't matter if the soldier is strong enough or not - because, when you're fighting yourself, the demons always win. Even when it doesn't look like it, they are always there - lurking - just like the dark, as it lets light believe that its completely gone, even when it's not.

    It appears to me that you are confused with your negative thought. Every one is fighting with evil force in life what ever may be his or phisical age and those who take's it positive gets the sucrcess in life.
    Your negative attitude ought be to changed for a positive thinking.This world is very beautiful. The presence of demons make it more enjoy able on success every time.
    I shall appreciate your writing with positive thought. But the style of writing is unique. Keep it up.

The monotony of being different

All my life I was told I am different. Sometimes it was appreciated, sometimes not so much.  I was told I had energy unparalleled, sometimes appreciated, other times not. Some people tell me how much they admired me, some said I couldn’t be understood.  Ever since I was a child, I was told being different is good.  In school, I was told different people tend to make better lives for themselves. In movies, I was shown that the protagonist is always, well, different.  These notions influenced my perspective towards life, making me crave the feeling of being different. Having said that, I was never treated like I was different, challenging my notion of me being “different”. However, sometime back I realized that I was never treated like I was different because no one wanted me to know how different I am.  Every time something nice happened to me, every time I said something exceptional, people tried to normalize how exceptional these things were. That is when I cou...

Privilege and Burden

The crown isn't just a mere ornament to be worn, it's a privilege and a burden.  For you sit with your head high, the crown embellished with precious stones, while the others bow. Privilege.  But, you can not look down, for even a slight tilt of the head, can make you lose the crown. Burden.  For you can wave and smile when thousands gather around to get just one glimpse of you. Privilege.  But you can't laugh your heart out when you find something funny in front of those same people. Burden.  But it's rare to find a person who can do both. The crown has the final say in everything yet the bearer of the crown doesn't have a voice.  But the true monarch can't be just anybody, because the bearer of the crown might be a puppet of these strings, but a monarch is one who controls everything. Smile when they have to, laugh when they want, hold their heads high when they have to but tilt their heads in disagreement when they want to.  Privilege and burden exi...

Circumscribe

For those who believe in themselves, it is a known fact that the key to success is acceptance. They like to believe that the world might not see them as they are, but it is their understanding of themselves that drives the world behind them. However, one would argue, what is success if you confine yourself within the very definition of you? How is it extraordinary to be what you are when the world is constantly asking for more? What makes you so distinct? What makes you think that it even matters what you feel about yourself? The world works on what is called the show business. One can never truly be honest and show themselves as they are, for that would mean showing the world your vulnerabilities, and that, in turn, makes you susceptible to defeat. So, the question prevails. Is it the fact that you accept yourself as you are and show the world what you are that drives your success? Or is it the face you put up, a mere illusion of you, that makes the world see half the truth, w...
