Entry For Today's 5 Minute Free Write Day 74: Callous

Were you raised to be schizophrenic, your days gilded in gold and glorious rose gardens, your nights locked in cages in dark, dirty, cold, hopeless places?

Did they attach electrodes, repeatedly, hurt you beyond remembering and then manage your parts with key words and code names and high-pitched sounds?

How else do we understand the long list of murders? The compulsive, comes-so-easily, lying? The treachery and treason and psychopathic self-preservation?

Why do you take up so much room. Your red-faced mate begging for more money more money more money. Obsessively predating, compulsively hurting, endlessly feeding, stuffing yourself, destroying. And now imploding, like the black hole that is your soul, devouring space itself.

Underneath layer after layer after layer of abuse, both doing and done to, do you ever just stop? Break down? You travel in your mobile hospital, children's blood transfused into your ice-cold veins, and yet you still cannot remain upright. You ARE breaking down, ending.

The deep wound within you is the rabbit hole pit we will never explore and your malevolence, once raging, is dying.
