Someone Inside Me

 

Dangerous thing, the mind.

You think it's your mighty weapon against all nightmares. Only to realize it's only mighty against you.

And all it takes is a couple of seconds to wake you up from a vivid dream into a harsh reality.

Only it wasn't really a dream..

You weren't asleep. You were wide awake..just tranced.

All the waves you brushed through the sky, suddenly scramble into fires rushing over your head.

And your blazing passion for life withers into utter darkness.

I know, my child..

I know how much it hurts..how much it crushes you every time you open your eyes. 

And I know how easy it would feel to just give up.

To leave everything behind and dive into nothingness, where there's no turning back.

I know because I've done it before you...

And here I am now..

No. Don't be fooled by looks.

It's only a veil. 

Trust me. You don't want to see what I've become.

I thought I was strong enough to go through with this.

I thought I was different.

But turns out we all have the same vulnerable heart.

And we all end up the same...

A soulless creature.. a part of the dark.

I've come to warn you.

You can't afford to let go of that fine thread between dreams and reality. You have to force yourself to wake up every time you feel you're going down that rabbit hole.

And yes, I know that sometimes you have no control over it. Or sometimes do, but choose to ignore it.

But trust me when I tell you that fading away into something like me is much more painful than being who you are, and where you are now.

Oh, my dear..

It's not going to be easy.

Nothing in this world is ever easy.

But you'll survive.

You might turn into a wholly different person in the process, but you'll make it.

After all, you are not the only one.

I've seen it.
