"look out! the killer's around!" is what they say. "look out! the killer is near!" is what they shout. "look out! the killer has a knife!" is what they warn. i don't really get it. i don't have a knife yet i think as if i'm killing myself. i'm not dangerous to be feared, nor psychotic to terrify people. the thing is, i am scared of myself. dangerous thoughts linger longer than time. people may see me normally in their eyes. but when i look at myself in the mirror, i see differently. in my eyes, i am the killer. not the one who kills other people with force but rather someone who kills herself with her thoughts. thus, the most dangerous killer in this world, is no other than one's self.
