Hello, my dear.
You do not know who I am, but I know you. I'm one of the Three Demons that were assigned to you at birth. You see, some people are destined to live happy fulfilling lives. You, I'm afraid, are not one of those people, and it's our job to make sure of that.
Who are we?
Oh yes, of course, how rude of me.
Allow me to introduce ourselves.
Shame is my younger sister, the demon to your left. Shame tells you that you're a freak; that those thoughts you have aren't normal; that you will never fit in. SHAME is the one who makes you hate yourself.
Fear sits on your right shoulder. She's my older sister, as old as life itself. Fear fills every dark corner with monsters, turns every stranger on a dark street into a murderer. Fear tells you that it's better not to try than to let anybody see you fail. FEAR makes you build your own prison.
Who am I, then?
I am the worst of your demons, but you see me as a friend. You turn to me when you have nothing else, because I live in your heart. I am the one who forces you to endure.
The one that prolongs your torment.
Sincerely, Hope.
