The Mind

It's there constantly reminding you. Subtle at times, but mostly overwhelming.
It bears a mark on your soul, as it eats away at you while you suffer for eternity as a slave to its divine darkness.
A silver lining quickly eliminated, as it bears no hope for the holy, and crushes the will of the greatest men.
Yes, for It has won, the very thing you swore to destroy has you begging on your knees.
Fortunately, it's all upward from here.
