And I'm running and I'm running and I'm running. But I'll never be fast enough. They're so fast, so relentless. And they are angry with me. That is all it takes for them to win. They drive straight through me now. It's almost at the point where it doesn't hurt. Almost.
I'm so used to being left behind. I've made my home in loneliness because that's where i belong best. That isolating feeling has returned, and I don't know if I can fight it this time. This time, it's darker. This time, they're faster, stronger, more relentless. And I am not.
I am trying to put myself together, rushing to make the pieces fit. When the truth is, they don't The pieces in my head never fit with the ones in my heart. My heart is too icy and far too warm. My head is too brilliant and far too stupid. My eyes are too tired and too alert. The further I contradict myself, the worse I become.
I am afraid... terrified because I'll never be fast enough. And they'll always beat me. Anger's never been this quiet. Doubt has never been this sure. Sadness has never been this content. And I've never been this empty. For years, I've been begging for silence, for the Voices to be quiet. Now they are. And I am terrified.
Something I have waited for for so long is ruining me. Pride has never been this humbled. Fear has never been this brave. Rage has never been this calm. Nobody's screaming, nobody's crying. But they're getting stronger, braver, angrier, faster. And I'm just waiting for the wolves.
Their teeth are beautiful things. Teeth that have claimed many victims. I'm done fighting... they won. Any humans who can silence the Voices have already won. They. Have. Already. Won. So, you can have my body. You can have my flesh, my spirit. You can take Us all.
Anger (he's a fighter)
Rage (he's even worse)
Sadness (won't be too much trouble)
Fear (she's twisted)
Failure (he's hard- headed)
Regret (sickly, sticky)
Pride (little bastard)
Guilt (hard to get rid of)
Perfection (won't be easy)
Doubt (she's already surrendered)
So, take Us all.
And, good luck keeping Them quiet.
