It Starts, It Ends

Chapter 7

I know it's been a while since the last update, so I'm sorry. Literally since the first day of school I've had piles of homework. I had three tests, an outline due, and regular homework all on one day in the first week of school. I haven't had much time to write.

With that, here's the new chapter:

~Isn't he just a demon?

One that told us lies?

How are we supposed to trust HIM,

When HE doesn't even try?~

I get that we're being cruel, but who cares? He's a demon. He LIED to us. This whole time, he's pretended to be our friend, when he's really our enemy. If he was really our friend, he wouldn't have hid that from us. Why should we trust him? He clearly didn't trust us. He's probably been planning how to kill us in the worst ways possible since day one. Kill Satan, my ass. He's just gonna follow in his fucking father's footsteps!

~Aren't demons pure malice?

Just like I've always learned?

Are we wrong for being callous,

When we can all be burned?~

Why am I even thinking about him trusting us? Demons are evil. They kill us. I've been told that my whole life. Practically every exorcist understands their true nature. Hell, even people that don't see them know how evil they are. There's no way we're all wrong… right? Who cares if we treat a demon terribly? No one's ever complains when an exorcist kills a demon, so why are we wrong for not even killing him? For God's sake, he could have burned us at any time, and he still can! He's dangerous!

~Is it wrong to keep my friends safe?

Keep away the source of harm?

Are we justified in our hate,

When we now know what's on his arms?~

I treat him like that to keep him away from my friends. My friends who DIDN'T betray us. I can't let him hurt them. I'm not wrong… am I? I mean, I'm not completely convinced he isn't evil, but… a part of me thinks Shiemi is right. I'm not blind. I see what he looks like now… but isn't it just an act? It can't actually hurt him. He's a demon… but… Shit, who am I kidding. I've seen the scars on his arms before. I tried to pretend I didn't know what they are, but Shiemi was definitely referring to those scars when she said he was doing something to himself. Shit…

~Are we wrong to treat him like this?

To yell, to hate, to scorn?

Are we the cause for his habit?

I don't know, I'm torn.~

Should we have treated him like that? My whole life, I've been taught that demons are evil. Is he an exception? Is he really evil? Fuck, I don't know! Are we treating a demon how he deserves to be treated, or are we killing our friend? Fuck!

I'd just like to say that I'm glad people seem to like my poems. Thanks :D!
