Summary

There was always a part of me that felt unbalanced. I acted with kindness; Yet I knew they did not deserve it I dealt with pleasantness. Yet, it was never enough. Whenever I smiled to a person in front of me, I pictured them in my mind hurt and screaming. Whenever I said the word “yes” to something that required me to push myself to something I do not want to do. I imagined how I laughed when their bodies were dripping with blood. It was an uneven balance, a dark side of the girl who was always smiling, kind and pleasant. My feelings of darkness, or to me my own self, were buried deep inside a shell I protected myself in, I was afraid of being alone and hated. Yet, even if I acted like the obedient girl, the honorable one, I was still an outcast. That shell grew and hardened with the years, I mostly forgot who I am and continued what I know. Be pleasant Be kind Say always the right words And never, ever say no. Until one day, I was thrown into a dark pit that, that shell broke and a side of me was freed, into a dark, monstrous person. Who finally felt like it was me.

Chapter 1

There was always a part of me that felt unbalanced.

I acted with kindness; Yet I knew they did not deserve it

I dealt with pleasantness. Yet, it was never enough.

Whenever I smiled to a person in front of me, I pictured them in my mind hurt and screaming.

Whenever I said the word “yes” to something that required me to push myself to something I do not want to do. I imagined how I laughed when their bodies were dripping with blood.

It was an uneven balance, a dark side of the girl who was always smiling, kind and pleasant.

My feelings of darkness, or to me my own self, were buried deep inside a shell I protected myself in, I was afraid of being alone and hated. Yet, even if I acted like the obedient girl, the honorable one, I was still an outcast.

That shell grew and hardened with the years, I mostly forgot who I am and continued what I know.

Be pleasant

Be kind

Say always the right words

And never, ever say no.

Until one day, I was thrown into a dark pit that, that shell broke and a side of me was freed, into a dark, monstrous person. Who finally felt like it was me.
