And When Someone Else Speaks

Self Pity Is A Disease Which Does Not Kill But Corrodes.

The Demons Of The Devil Don't Use Your Weak Weaknesses Against You, They Use Your Strong Ones. If You're Rational And Logical, They Argue Their Case Rationally And Logically. If You're Loyal And Faithful, They Turn Those Against You. If You're Passionate And Emotional, They Make You Passionate And Emotional About Your Worse Fears. Your Weak Weaknesses Are No Use To Them.... They Find The Strongest Weaknesses You Didn't Know Were Yours And Use Those Against You.

Readers Are Made By Readers - It Is So Obvious It Is Almost Banal To Say It.

And When Someone Else Speaks Your Name You Feel Pleased. You Feel Wanted. You Feel There. Alive. Even If They're Saying Your Name With Dislike, At Least You Know You're You, That You Exist.

A Joy That Hurts With Sadness A Sadness That Is Pleasurable A Pleasure Full Of Terror A Terror That Excites An Excitement That Calms A Calmness That Frightens.
