Isolated. My whole life I have been isolated. Hidden away from those who wish destruction upon me and all that I hold dear. Which is not much really. You don't get to hold anything dear when everyone wants to see your destruction.
That was a lesson I learnt the hard way. A way so hard it haunts you at night. So hard you can get the screams out of you mind,the gruesome images tattooed into your brain. So evil it taints your soul. So dark you can't see even with an inferno before you. So cold hearted,it could freeze over the seven gates of hell.
No excape from the ghosts of the past. I can't heal from the pain they caused. They made sure I wouldn't.
There are days I feel the walls of this place are closing in on me, trapping me within these walls of solitude, loneliness and everything in between.
But those are the good days. There are days when I'm drowning in a deep dark ocean, trying to breathe as I kick my legs to get to the surface. To no avail as my legs grow tired as I'm being pulled to the sandy bottom.
I kick harder with more desperation which gets more exausting as time ticks by slowly but it gets me progress;as slow as it is. And as feel I'm going to pass out,I see the surface.
Right after the moment I touch it I'm dragged down kicking and screaming.
That happens till I pass out. Which...is three hours after I'm dragged to the bottom.
Then there are the neutral days. The days where I don't feel anything. Numb. All through out my body. Like sitting at the passager seat as someone else takes control of my body. Where I felt neither pain nor emotion. An unknown power consuming and killing me from the inside out.
There was nothing I could do about it. I couldn't tell anyone who I was. I couldn't ask for help;couldn't ask anyone to explain to me what was happening. I didn't know who to trust. I couldn't trust anyone.
Not when my whole family was killed because of me. Because of this power that resides within me. Waiting for an opportunity to hurt those around me. I can't let that happen. Not when they mean the world to me.
