The Beast Among Beauty

From the moment I took my first breath, people have looked at me with a horrified expression. The gasp tells me I am a mistake, while their gazes push me into a pit of despair where only darkness is waiting. In a way, it’s peaceful but still scary and lonely. I still long for a way out, for a friend. Recently the darkness has grown writing helps but sitting in this castle that everyone forgot takes a toll on my mind. As I lie down wide awake I think of all there is to do and all there was that had already been done. Then there’s him.
