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...

Compulsion

I had given my heart and soul to the person who didn't have either. My affection for him was like the tempest, wrecking any ship that'd take me safe to the  shore, making my soul drench, then drown. Ironically enough, just like a soulless body is lost at sea, with no efforts to swim up to the rim, my soul drifted and swayed. For that's when I thought, to be lost is to love, and I thought I loved with my heart and soul, not knowing that the day I realise what I thought to be his guard, was a farce, and my love for him, light refracted by glass, is near. For when light is refracted by glass- probably my compulsion to reciprocate his love here,  you see colours to be different, for I mistook the wavelength of my passion for love.

Anchor

In this hour of chaos, where the mist of uncertainty clouds my mind and the poison of doubt corrupts it, I can't help but realize something. Funny, how we preach that our anchor should be someone who connects us to sanity and clears all that pushes us into the dark, but choose someone for an anchor who shatters us, fully, without leaving one ounce of our body unbroken. Funny, truly it is, that I chose my anchor to be someone much worse. At least with others, there's a chance of recuperation, for broken pieces to be brought together to form something stronger. With mine, none. My anchor consumed the flawed me, leaving no trace of who I was. Challenged every thing I believed in, only to get stronger. When they think of it this way, I see what I call my anchor, as parasitic, something far from what could possibly keep you from insanity. The idea of it feeding on me haunts them. But, I keep telling them, and maybe a part of me, that it isn't true. Speculation always ge...
