Life throws live bombs at you; abuse, cruelty, manipulation by ‘so called’ loved ones, betrayal of trust, ****** of innocense, all contributing to the grand design and creation of a sorrowful, raging monster; a special breed. You come to discover and sharpen the only real weapons you possess… YOUR WORDS. These words become like machetes, cutting and chopping through bone. These words become the lethal bullets that penetrate deep into the crevices of heart and mind. Somewhere, within the vast depth of yourself you find a strength and courage, in between the layers of rusted scars, creating a new persona, one who will stand up for you, when your fragile ‘self’ cannot. This creature takes the brunt of the hurt and fear directed your way. Those that pretend to love you, yet cause only harm, witness this savior you’ve borne, and have the nerve to be offended. Often these Pretenders find it quite entertaining to watch and listen as you tear another apart. That is, until you turn, and point your revolver… at THEM. Bang! Bang! goes that gun, and down they go, obliterated by your own hand, and you can only offer up an amused grin… as they bite the bullet! ~ by Mercurychyld Copyrights
