Words rape souls
They float out of nimble tongues
They toss dark spells
They rape souls.
Sometimes they kill, but never fast
Always slow
Always fiddling upon wounds.
Words fly fast
Faster than the wind
Faster than the minds.
They rape souls
When they plant a thought
That grows and poisons
And hurts and destroys.
Words rape souls
When they are used as weapons
To kill
And to extinct
The feeble lights of hope.

Don't look for the best in you
Look for the worst instead.
And embrace it.
Embrace the monster that dwells deep within you
The beast that sleeps quietly in the back of your mind.
Embrace your most ugly being
Your selfish side
Your hideous mind tricks
Your convenient lies
Your most disturbing moments.
For no one will know them like you do
For no one will love them like you do
Or see them like you do.
Embrace your darkness till you're drenched
Embrace it and let it be.
Let it be till it does not bother you anymore
Till it does not shame you anymore
Till it sets you free
From your past
From your regrets
From your self-blame
And let you find
Finally,
You.

She sees the red signs now and then. Shining like neon lights.
That night when he receives a call and locks himself in the bathroom.
Or when he jokes about her in front of his friends.
He laughs, and she hates it.
Still, she stays.
She stays even when he doesn't welcome her home.
When the silence grows between them like a shady monster.
Other times, he fights. And he gets mad. Vexed. Spitting ugly words.
She tells herself she will leave if he beats her.
But, what is the difference?
Maybe he's already beating her soul,
And she's letting him do it.
Maybe she's just afraid to be alone.
She will leave him if...
“If,” she tells herself…
Then she lies down next to him.
Hoping that tomorrow will be different.
