[continued from last message]
"Not taking your shit anymore, Life, I'm not taking it. Next time you toss that crap on me, and try to crush me like that, and get rid of me, I'm just going to march up to you and kick your ass freakin' in. You don't mess with me. You don't mess with something so twisted and broken and sad inside. You don't mess with the Darkness, or the Fire. Because that Darkness is always there, no matter what, and that Fire will burn you, it'll blaze so hard with my anger, Life. I will kick your freaking ass.
I look so small and so weak, a tiny insignificant creature. An incompetant Messenger whose messages are not heard. Kicked, torn, hurt, spit on, ignored, disrespected, lied to, silenced, betrayed, attacked, unloved. You look at me, Life, and you see something so useless, you think. You think I'll never amount to anything, and that's why you're trying to kick me down. Always telling me I'm just a stupid little house pet, and I should just stay there, and be forever a pet, because I'll never grow to my final form.
Hey Life? Guess what?
You can't break what's already broken.
Since the moment I first saw you, I was broken. All I've ever known are my pieces, not my whole. And I'm still picking them up, even when you try to scatter them constantly. All you ever do is abuse me, Life, you kick me down, and you turn the most important person to me against me. The only one who's been there the whole time for me, even when she's been suffering too, and even when she's been so confused this whole time and not known what to do.
Me.
The only one who's not given up on you. The only one who will never leave. And I haven't been giving her enough credit. It's all because of all the shit you've done, Life. It's made me abuse her like you abuse me, take out my anger on someone who doesn't deserve it. YOU'RE the one who deserves my anger, Life. And I shouldn't keep giving it to the wrong person, and giving her all these scars when you give me enough of them as it is.
I am strong.
I face horrors that people who seem stronger than me run away from, when I'm supposed to be weak. I take the balls and the initiate, and I say what needs to be said. Even if I said it a bit too late, even if I've been waiting so long to say it, eventually, I say it. I can hold back all my punches when I kick your ass, Life. But I'm not pulling back that last one.
And I used to think I was weak, because of you, Life. I'd hurt her, and I'd think she was weak and worthless. But I've seen so much shit now, that I know that's just not true. The fact that I'm even still looking at you right now proves it. I would've gone a long time ago away from you if I was weak.
So you keep trying your stupid shit. You keep doing that. And you keep bringing fuckin' Uncle Happiness 'round and cockteasing me with him, Life. I'm gonna love the one who really matters, and the one who really needs it. Eventually. When I learn how.
Until then, I'm gonna kick your fucking ass in. Like I've said again and again. But I say it again and again because I mean it. Fuck hope, fuck faith, fuck all that. I'm tired and I don't have the energy anymore. I feel nothing but emptiness.
All I have is the Darkness inside of my heart, and the Fire in my eyes. All I have are the pieces that still remain, and the pieces at my side. That's all I have to fight you with, Life. And you can laugh at me, and mock the fact that I've sided with something so ugly. But when you've reached the absolute rockbottom, when you're close to reaching the edge of sanity, and have been several times, then that's all you can do. All you can do is side with that which you've tried desperately to fight this whole time, to fight your real enemy.
I have sharp fangs, I have sharp claws, and I am an absolute monster. And I am because of you. And you know what? I love it. I love the monster that I am, and I will fight you without wearing that pretty dress that you always expect me to wear.
So what I'm just trying to say to you here is...
Don't you ever think that you can push down this red Messenger, you pretentious bastard. And don't you ever think that you can call me weak, stupid, or insignificant again without the consequences. I have power and I have strength. And most importantly?
Don't you ever make me fight her again and make me live with those two awful friends of mine Guilt and Shame. Because they're all I've ever known, and I really don't even want to be around them anymore.
Because I may be small, I may be naive, and I may be young.
But I am goddamn Arylett Charnoa Dawnsborough.
And nobody can take that away from me."
I hope that was helpful... I realize it was somewhat aggressive since... well, I think you can tell what kind of mood I was in when I wrote it. But yeah, I mean, you know, sometimes, you just need to give it a kick in the ass.
