Broken

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>People say 'monster' like it's a bad thing.

How easy it can be to allow yourself to love one without even knowing it. How easy it is to trust someone you used to know not understanding how broken they are inside but loving them anyway.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>But no one truly understands what makes a person a monster until they become one themselves. When the world has robbed you of everything you love and you have nothing left to live for. When the darkness is so welcoming that you would sell your soul to the devil if it meant you had a reprieve from the pain you suffered daily.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>That's why I can't allow him to love me the way he wants to. Loving Everett is easy. It's comforting and familiar in a way that calms me. But I know that to love him is to put his life in danger because the monsters responsible for murdering my family won't stop until I'm dead. Even his job with the FBI can't save me. Maybe I don't want it to because at the end of the day I'm not ashamed of who I am or what I do.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I don't hurt those who haven't done anything wrong. I protect the world by taking care of those who unleash their demons on the innocent. To get revenge for those who were taken from me. I look death in the eye and flirt with it knowing nothing worse can happen to me at this point.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I'm not a monster.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I'm a daughter who lost her father.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>A wife who lost her husband.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>A mother who lost her child.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I'm not a killer.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I'm an eliminator.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)><u>Content Warnings:</u></strong></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Violence</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Stalking</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Murder: including of a parent spouse and infant on page</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Suicidal thoughts/ideation on page</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Foul language</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Explicit sex scenes on the page</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Removal of human body parts</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Consumption of said body parts (by an animal not by a human)</span></p><p> </p>
