"Play nice with your demons and they'll play nice with you."
These are words my brother would tell me.
Play? Nice?
Those are words I don't understand.
I don't play.
I'm not nice.
Everything I do benefits me, nothing less or nothing more.
I'm greedy, selfish, stubborn... I want everything without having to give too much.
I take, I take and I take and after..if you have nothing left to give? What use are you to me?
I'm too honest, I don't hide my disinterest in anyone or anything.
You either are useful to me or you're not, there's no "between".
Submit.
Give me your all.
Repeat.
I told my brother this.
He told me I didn't play nice with my demons, instead I became their queen.
If my words were an object
They'd be a knife
A knife that could just tap at the surface
A knife that could just bruise the top layer of skin
A knife that could cut thin
A knife that could cut wide
A knife that could plunge so deep...
It would leave a scar
Internally, never healing, never changing
Constantly causing you pain
I want my words to cut you deep
Why?
I want to carve out the pieces of you I don't need
Your pride
Your timidness
Your humanity
I want them all removed, so I can grow something much more useful...
To me.
