The Battle I Fight
Location
Bang!
Gun pointed at my chest, I feel a sudden warmth on my chest.
I feel it and I freeze.
Blood seeps through my shirt and drips.
Stab!
A sharp blade within me.
Once again blood drips down and I'm soaked with blood.
I cry but no voice comes out. I try to cry but no tears run down.
Right there I realize what had happened. I have turned into an emotionless human being.
The feeling of pain was so common, now the word pain does not mean anything.
I stare at my wounds.
People walk past me as I kneel on the floor.
They stare at me as though I am weird. I cry for help but no one appears.
I am alone.
Trying my best I stand up back on my feet. I take out a mask, put it on, then casually walk. Everyone stares at me because of my smile. Some think of it as a mockery.
With my head held up high I continue walking.
Beneath the mask, I cry.
I wince.
I shout.
I run.
I try to escape.
Nothing works, darkness is everywhere. No one helps.
All alone, I fight my battle.
But no victory, for this battle goes on every day.
