MONSTER/HERO
I don't deserve to be here. I don't deserve to live. I don't deserve to exist. But most of all, I don't deserve…
Her.
When I met her she didn't know what I was and I wasn't sure what I was either. I was confused about my purpose but meeting her caused a spark to flare within me.
She didn't treat me like others had treated me, mostly because she was ignorant of the truth. I believed she would reject me if she knew the truth.
I was wrong.
And she didn't pity me either. She accepted me despite knowing what I was, knowing what I could do and knowing what I had done.
She didn't reject me at all. I didn't know what to think.
I am a monster, but she never saw a monster.
She called me a hero but how could I be after all the sins I've committed?
My past was a terrible one and I committed horrible acts, robbing people of their lives without hesitation.
It didn't hurt before but now it did.
Why?
Was it because of her?
I used to put a shield around my heart but she found a crack and slipped through, taking up residence within my heart.
She became my most precious treasure.
She became the one good thing to have ever happened to me.
She became my motivation.
She became my purpose, my drive, my soul, and my heart.
She became my everything.
And with the hands of a monster I will walk the path of a hero.
Because she believed.
