March 19th
It raged inside me like a wild animal in the jungle. I couldn't control how this vicious creature leapt around inside me, tearing apart the feelings of others like little animals.
Blind to the needs and emotions of those around me, it drove me to crush the dreams and hopes of others, like the wild beast that moves through the jungle, destroying everything in its path.
Words like sharp claws tore people's hearts apart.
But I didn't realise how much I was hurting the others. It had blinded me, like the wild animal in the impenetrable thicket of the jungle.
Didn't realise that I was leaving those around me lonely and broken.
Suddenly I realised the emptiness around me.
I had destroyed everything and stood alone in the jungle of my own selfishness.
The selfish being could no longer derive any joy from destroying.
The emptiness that arose within me became unbearable. With no others to hurt, the wild beast turned against its own creator.
It began to tear apart my soul, just as it had torn apart the feelings of others before.
The self-destruction was relentless. I could no longer flee from the wild beast that was now devouring my insides.
My thoughts and feelings were devoured by the ruthless nature of my selfishness.
In the end, all that remained of me was a shadow of myself. The beast had not only destroyed others, but also me.
In the darkness of my own jungle, I found no compassion, no salvation, only inevitable doom...
(Elysian, 15)
