It mocks me. It tests me. It tells me I can't. It beats me and pushes me into the darkest corner of my mind and fills it with lies like your worthless, ugly, and won't amount up to anything. I see hows it changes the world, and how civilization is declining. It's a beast that breaks you down and tells you that your wrong. Well I look into It's eyes and say 'bring It! ' It lunges for me but I duck and turn as It's ready for take two. It jumps, and this time draws some of my blood but I dropkick it to the ground where it belongs. It moans and runs back into the dark world from where it came. A smile appears on my face, for I have done it......I have broken society's curse on me..........'not this time, ' I say.
