Sometimes the mind makes you see things that aren't there. Your mind can make you feel at ease or in terrible danger. Whenever it is weak, it will show you the worst of things, make you feel the worst of things. You can pretend nothing is wrong, putting on big smile everyday, while in the meantime the fear and pain are destroying you on the inside. It can make you capable of many things you probably would never do, things others would never expect you to do.
But if you don't fight against the weakness and believe those lies your mind tells you at times, then there's no escape. Sometimes you have to fight yourself, sometimes you are your own enemy.
''Your mind can be either your prison or your palace. What you make it is yours to decide''

The FOURbidden
Sometimes we're scared of our own stories. Sometimes we're brave enough to tell them. Sometimes we can't move forward. Sometimes we are forced to. Sometimes people wish they were in our shoes.

Enchanted Love: The PAST-The PRESENT
~TOUCH HER AND SHE'LL KILL YOU~ They say the worst pain is losing someone. They're wrong. The real pain is knowing everything - every lie in a smile, every betrayal wrapped in love, every truth people try to bury. I see it all. I understand everyone... except myself. People look at me and see elegance, confidence, sharp intelligence. What they don't see is the silence I live in - a silence so loud it drowns my heartbeat. I used to think someone might come for me one day. Someone who wouldn't fear my mind or my power. Someone who would stay. But that kind of hope died when my parents did. Now I exist for one thing - revenge. No love. No attachments. No weakness. I don't need anyone. At least, that's the story I tell myself. - RAVEN ~~~ People fear heartbreak, betrayal, death. But you know what I fear? A life with no direction - drifting in an endless sea where strength means nothing. Everyone believes I'm the strongest man alive. The truth? Even mountains crumble if they stand alone too long. I've won wars, built empires, crushed enemies. But none of it fills the emptiness gnawing inside me. I move. I breathe. I survive. But I don't live. Some nights, I think what I really need isn't power... but a reason. A gravity strong enough to pull me out of the ocean I'm sinking in. A person who sees me - not the monster the world bows to. Until then, I drift. Silent, controlled, starving for something I'll never admit I want. - ARES
