The Good of My Family

Feedback Received!

I do it, for the good of my family.

I do not rest until I find my true hearts desire.

I use it, three drops, to hide them from myself, to ease their minds.

Now, I slumber.

Until the sun slowly fades to night.

And then, the beast in me awakens again, to feast.

I do it, for the good of my family.

They do not fear what I have become

They believe it to be my true form.

They do not know me.

The monster.

I lie, I sin, I hide, I run.

This is me!

Now, and always.

I do it, for the good of my family.

I wish it weren't so!

I love my family as they love me.

But the demon, She brings me below.

To the icy depths of my souls,

To the fiery mountains of my heart.

It will not rest until it has torn me apart.

I will conquer these creatures that torment me!

I will end their wickedness with my strength my hope and my courage!

Until every last drop of their poisons drip from my flesh!

...I will do it.

For the good of my family.

I will.
