Weak

by Astolos

I am weak. (Short piece about a mage's mindset.)

I am a weak person. Not literally, of course. I can cast more spells better than most.

I am a weak person. Not in mind, obviously. I have successfully achieved a far better average than many in the Circle.

am a weak person. Not in anything but psyche. I am truly fragile. You say you don't like me, I will chip. You say you hate me, I will crack. You turn me a cold shoulder, and I will shatter. But that does not mean I don't understand the consequences of my actions. I understand them far, far better than anyone you could ever find. I understand that if I do allow myself to break, the demons will devour my soul and steal my body. And if I were to allow that to happen, they would rampage, and destroy, and kill. I will never allow that.

I am a weak person. But I do not care, for I cannot afford to be so.
