[bodytext] => I’ve embraced this darkness. The darkness that slowly consumes us all. Though I accept this bloodlust that all humans have, I hide it. I pretend to be the something that I’m not. I’m not happy. I pretend to be carefree and joyful, and I am not. Secretly, I wish to hear them cry. To hear their screams as I cut them in half with my hatred…and my anger. As they cry in front of me, pleading to stop, I can only laugh. I laugh at their weakness, I laugh at them because they are pathetic. They care too much for others, and that is their weakness. Compassion. As I see them in front of me, tears streaming down their face, eyes looking up at me as they are collapsed on their knees, I feel…pity. I do not pretend to mask this pity with sorrow, or regret, or even compassion. I pity how weak they are. I want to put them out of their misery. I want only to kill them now, in this place of endless darkness. No. This place…it’s familiar. I realize that this place of morbid fantasy and endless darkness is…my heart. I’ve embraced this darkness, and I welcome it warmly. But then…what are these desires to feel the warmth of light?
