My Own DemonA Chapter by VikrantOnce again, I find myself battling my inner demon. It resurfaces time and again, leaving me uncertain whether I am instigating its return or if external triggers are to blame. This latest skirmish has been particularly grueling, with neither side emerging victorious. Each confrontation leaves us both drained. Once again, we've reluctantly agreed to a temporary truce. I'm acutely aware of its presence, lurking within me, constantly striving to manifest itself outwardly. Concealing it becomes an arduous task. I yearn for some form of weaponry, guidance, or support from those closest to me. Yet, it seems everyone is engaged in their own struggle. Some claim to have conquered their demons, but their methods remain elusive. Perhaps I simply lack understanding, or maybe they themselves are in denial. In my experience, the demon persists for as long as we do, relentless and unyielding. Perhaps people are more adept at concealing their battles than confronting them openly. Perhaps one day, we'll unite in unveiling our demons. Though victory may elude us, the act of revealing takes courage. Perhaps in doing so, we'll strike fear into the demons within. © 2024 Vikrant |
