Struggle

I have been struggling against Arthur's belief for a long time. Arthur is the perfect antagonist. He destroys people to their bones. He can reach deep into your bones and begin to devour every marrow, every cell within it. However, he does not do this physically, he does it with words and schemes. He targets people mentally and belittle others. He is a devil. He corrupts purity and innocence. He transforms virtue to evilness. He is an ominous influence that cannot be stopped. There is no way of stopping him. 

I just don't want to be like him. I have been fighting his belief and character for a long time. It is not easy because everything he says is credible and unarguable. He has a sharp tongue which isn't sprinkled in sugar but dipped in pungent mustard. He speaks the truth and it is not pretty at all. He talks about his own reaction to such truths. The way he approaches things is not human. He isn't human. He is way too realistic and cruel. He is good with words, but too good with it that he began to seek the negative energy within it. Slowly, he is having an effect on me. Slowly, I am beginning to see his view and I am becoming more and more like him. The day I see the reflection in the mirror and see him, it will be the end of me.  God bless him.
