invisible

creeping where it is not expected…
hidden behind that trusting face, those loving hands. behind words filled with hope, and a soft spoken voice… it lurks.
teasing from within a clear glass bottle, whispering of so much promised fun, it threatens to break down and destroy.
from the computer during the late hours of the night, alone and wanting, it comes after those who give in where they are weak. to things that lead to destruction.
within the mind thoughts start to form. impure. lustful. desiring. leading nowhere but towards pain, and hurt. for those thoughts direct to nothing but harm.
anger builds up over time until it explodes, injuring anything that is in its path. tearing apart the innocent and caring, it has no mercy.

there is no one who is safe. and there is nowhere to hide…
it is like a lion creeping in the shadows after its prey. watching. waiting. patiently hiding until that moment. the moment where it leaps out, taking its victim from behind, leaving it barely any chance to escape or survive.
it is that one person giving enough good reasons to keep on pushing the limits. making excuses over and over. for after all how bad could it be? the boundaries keep moving farther back to make room for compromise. yet in this situation, compromise should be feared.
it is that small voice inside thats called your conscience – that you choose to ignore. to leave behind for something better, more enjoyable… even if it is temporary and fleeting. when we feel like we need “something more”… we neglect all prior red flags to find it.


catching us when we least expect it. coming from behind in our weakest moments. threatening to destroy at every opportunity. willing for us to fail.



SIN.

Wow, i love it. If I had to shorten it to m favorite few words, it would boil down to.
"teasing, tearing, boundaries, fail."
Incredible tho. Conviction is what modern society misses most, i think.
