The Enemy Within



"I have been wearing a mask for so long that it had been unremovably bonded to my soul. Now it cant be removed without leaving a deep and painful scar behind."

May be he is not as good as he believes.
May be the kind of emotions he shows are a means to deceive himself more than others - to gain trust in the tiny little voice inside him.
May be he had lost control and the strings have now become more real and visible.

He always felt that there was someone inside him -
someone who never trusts him, his intuitions, finds out sinful intentions for his friends actions making him turn a cynic eye on them. It forced him to see everything through a pessimistic view.It taught him to trust no one, not even himself.

At times, it takes full control over him, tears him apart and eats him raw

"But Im sure that one day i shall destroy you and I will enjoy see you wither away." He whispered with a smile on his ghastly face.

PS. I actually have no idea which category this writeup comes under. It not a story, Its not about me, Its just some random thoughts expressed in a crude way...
Ill come up with something worth reading in the next post..

its really a thing worth reading :)
all of us wear masks because we dont trust each other, this goes one step ahead and we stop trusting ourselves too.... keep writing :)

Meow said...

Oflate I've been reading in many blogs, posts about wearing mask, being fake and I myself have come up with such a topic... We all are in same thinking mode huh?

Well put and expressed in a manner which shows how crude it is!!! Loved It :)

the difference between artificial and real. there is a real you and there s a unreal you who you live with.
finally one of them gives way. and generally its the former.

We all have it inside us. The hidden devil. It sort of wakes up during the times when we want things so bad! It gives us this feel that : Ha ha! You can't do it. I'll make sure you can't.

The fact that you've the will to break that voice apart and put yourself first is what counts.

Well written. :)

The enemy within is the worst one we have to fight with during life. Fighting this voice must be the toughest and the most important task on the way to success as a human being in this life.
It is very well written.

Hmmm let me wear de mark of a critic :-) yeah as it goes , de post is indeed "crude" considering de commendable grammatical typing errors you've made i would suggest changes like "it has unremovably bonded" rather than "has been" . Similarly "i will enjoy SEEING u withered" instead of See u.
Da i'll start "CHOORALING N EERKILING" :)
another thing is de PS part, personally i don't think it's good 4 a author 2 express doubt about how worthy his write up. It's good 2 b open hearted though :) but i believe it's best not 2 make similiar add ons !u would better add like this "typed in a hurry! Mistakes guaranteed" etc !
Last but not de least :-) nice read. Keep experimenting :)

Dear Amal,
i wish to see clear n bright thoughts during DIWALI time.:)
develop a positive attitude,
compare with the less fortunate,
do the basic course of AOL,
Stand before the mirror,
And daily repeat,''I can do it''.
Be yourself n live your life,
EVERYTING WILL BE OK.
HAPPY DIWALI,FRIEND.........
