You know that time in your life, when you feel as if the
world is crashing in around you…
I experienced that moment. To the extent of conforming to
those around me, just to get by…
Through the haze of years, which I felt self-doubt, I
finally found freedom.
Let us start from the point of no return. This is some of
my story.
My
name… Yes, that would be a must… I will go by the name, Humanity. I have
no set age. But I will chart the moments, to which I believe a time in point,
would bring me to the age of 20. Stuck behind a mask, I call sex. I
could choose either, but for story's sake, let’s just say, I am female.
You
found me at a crossroad, one that could have led either way. You found me in
a crowd, just trying to fade into the background. You, which goes by the
name Destruction; must have known… You must have felt it… that emotional serge,
which radiated all around me… You wanted my soul… But I didn’t know until
it was too late.
Collecting
strength, from those who do not show it… Making sure, they never hone it. You took a magnetic hold, on the one that the
stories all told, would be able to change everything, once she realized her
destiny… Today I would be the one, to satisfy your pain.
I heard of you long ago…Those same stories told, of a predator which traveled the world. A predator that had destruction running through their veins. Searching for those which felt weak. A perfect target, to play the prey… Those that had a desperation to understand, that which made them different… You took over lands, and left destruction in your path.
A
manipulations treasure-trove… It’s true, I am the one which could allow
you to prevail. The one that did not understand the stories… The broken one,
which will bow their head, and take to their knees. Because the past haunts
them in their dreams, where silent screams, numb them to what’s never
believed… You believe this is what will make me not fight, and just trust
what you want me to see. So please Destruction, follow Humanity into one last
dream, and try to break me if you please.
Past the thieves of present day, into the woods where I used to play. Stands a willow, beside a cave which holds the key, hidden from Destruction’s name… I tell myself there will come a day, to which I would learn this stranger’s name. This day will lead me far away, from this dream I dared not stay, unto a path, far from this place… Evil queens and villains in disguise. Filled with drowning roads, slick holds, whirlpools of straggled dreams, with islands never meant to last, but a foot hold all the same, for those who do not yet know their way… This is my dream of what I thought to be true, a nightmare hidden only by my blind eyes. Which are shadowed by lights dreams, clouds of confusion, held together by the weeping mists, strengthened by wondering faith, and unforeseen roads not far from my grasp, guarded by a creature so bold, it devours anyone’s true paths… This creature was vial to those whose faith wandered. This creature, with Destruction's help filled those dreamer's heads with struggles of emotions, struggles of lost hope, struggles that this small world where they resided, was all there was… All there would ever be… So why try to escape?
But
I am a dreamer, and my name holds strong. This is where Destruction
faltered… See, I finally started to understand. Into those woods, to
which we started, stands a willow beside a cave. The key, hidden from
Destruction’s name, is of the one the stories told, which has the power, once
her destiny was realized, to change everything… I learned this stranger’s name,
the one that will lead me far away, out of this dream I dared not stay, unto a
path, to a castle made of glass…
Her
name is Humanity… It was always me… This power that led you to me… Has become
stronger in your wake. I played Destruction’s game, and I finally am
going to make my way, with this power growing stronger every day. That vial
creature which blocks the way, is no threat to me, for my weakness is fading
fast and this newfound strength will guide me past…
Deep
breaths, as I enter this castle made of glass, through a hidden door, which
holds the secrets I came to seek. Timid times called back to me, but I
found myself wanting more. I found what held back the fears. Covering me with
what appeared, hidden eyes saw just my disguise. But in this castle made
of glass, disguises don’t last forever…
Inside
a mirror, all our pasts hold truth. To a kingdom exchange was told to be soon…
I held my mirror close, until there were just two, and just like that…my mirror
left my hand and so did the truth… As I looked down, in its place was a past I
had not foreseen. Within this mirror,
a rescuer from this new day, has come to show me a life to which I’d stay, with
an ending as old as fairy-tales time.
What little girl, didn’t grow up wishing for her prince? I watched those movies of the prince that saved the princess. Those movies are what made me dream… But these fairy tales were not as they seemed. For within each one was a meaning to be found…
Bringing me back to the woods where I use to play, from under the willow I now lay, devising a plan to block these thieves of present day and never letting Destruction form another way… For this family, with love, will learn these ways. Humanity now rules these days.
As for me I have learned the game
and now I must say no prince needs to rescue you in this day. For you are stronger
than what they say and you, yourself
will rule these days.
