The Abyss
I stand before the abyss and it stares back at me.
I ask, 'what do you do to people who find you?'
After flirting with a knife's sharp edge, I hear its voice muted as a still night.
Nothing. I am but a reflection of mankind's darkest thoughts. The dark mirror of humanity's collective consciousness. Whether you succumb to me or not, depends on your own strength.
'Then how can I defeat you?'
You cannot. I will always exist as long as all living things continue to exist. However, I am neither good or evil. I just AM.
'People suffer because of you.'
They suffer from their own thoughts and actions. I am simply there to reflect their own consciousness.
'You are evil.'
I am simply a tool.
I stare at the abyss with hatred. All my frustrations and heartache, I blame it all on you.
'I hate you.'
No, You hate yourself.
