HeartStrings

Everyone has demon but many have a great way of showing that they aren’t bothered at all by the demons that move around inside them or around them. To others they seem so fine and healthy no one ever questions them because like every other human being they seem normal. I being me have that issue every day. I can recognize a demon taking over a human from a mile away. I have recognized it ever since that fateful day my mother died.

My father told me it was a heart attack but I knew better I knew that something was eating up inside her every single day. I knew it from the way when the news would come on and they would talk about the latest death she would always pale. I knew from the way her hands shook every single time she picked up a knife and always almost ended up cutting her wrist open. I knew it from how she would look at me as if she’s seen a ghost and always pray from me in her room every single night. I knew that stuff at an early age and I don’t really know why.

At the age six I started cooking and making sure my mother didn’t do anything that would end up getting her hurt. I forced my dad to get a job and drive with my mom every single day and always make sure she didn’t end up collapsing like that other fateful day she stopped breathing completely and it was a good thing by dad knew CPR or she would’ve been gone sooner.

The day she died though, she said something to me…

“Live life as long as you can Scar, because sooner or later you’ll start to realize the best things in life are the things that you lose forever.”

I was ten and losing my mother impacted both me and my father. As time passed I could see my father slowly start to fade away into the darkness in which my mother was located in and I couldn’t do anything because I was still a child.

Time passed more and I met some people. I don’t know what happened but I started acting up more and drinking at the early age of 15.

3 years later at the age I am now I learned to stop but every day I’m reminded of my mother’s words and I learned to move on and now here I am about to face the next battle in life.

It is better to conquer yourself to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
