There's a villain in every story. The witch of the west, a wicked witch of the east, the evil step mother, a monster, a beast. What does the villain look like? Some may ask. It doesn't always have a black cape, or a witches broom, or a big and scary mask. I have a villain of my own, but she's kind of hard to see. She has a really good disguise - She looks a lot like me. Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who's the fairest of them all? or maybe it's monster, monster inside of me, tell me, tell me what you see. Rip me apart, tear me to shreds, make me a prisoner inside of my own head. Tell me what I am and tell me what I'm not. Tell me what I need and tell me I got. You bring out my scars, my sadness, fears, and aggression. You cause me a lot of envy and leave me with depression. Deprive me of my confidence, take away my self esteem, cause me to feel judgement and make me yell and scream. You taunt me with your words like this is some kind of game. But when it comes down to it there's no one to blame. This villain isn't a creature or a devil sent from hell. It isn't a witch or a demon, the villain is myself. I try to fight it but it won't stop. It's never going to cease. It's mean, it's a liar. I'm the beauty and the beast. There's a villain in every story. A statement that is true, but how do you kill the monster, when it lives inside you?
