Without motivations nagging push, I fear I am nothing but an ant; doomed to be weak and easily looked over. Without fear and doubt, each standing on opposing shoulders, I am alone. Some days, these are the only beings who will talk to me. What choices do I have, other than to listen? However, at the sight of another's smile, my personal tormentors are caught powerless. The constant, biting, unwanted input will subside. And the world will keep spinning on its axis as it has before my time, and my mother's, and her mother's. I am not scared, because I don't want to be. I am the controller of my emotions. The controller of other's emotions. I am the one to make people smile. I have this power, and my demons do not. I will abuse my power, and shoo the bad tidings away from others, while hoping they do the same for me.
