Apathy

Apathy is like a ghost, she’s follows you close behind and haunts your every move and takes advantage of your weak mind when you begin to acknowledge her existance. She finds favor in the weak and weary for they are her easiest subjects.  She’ll take advantage of her victims in their misery, and she’ll pretend to care about you, even when you don’t. This in turn makes you feel safe in her seemingly warm and trusting embrace; but this in turn is not the case. This fine woman presents herself in a costume of hope because she knows her trusting followers will join her in her dangerous game. They will take any break she gives them, any possible medication to to heal them, and any chance to be free; whether it be in a path of light, or a path of destruction, they will play her cards no matter what the cost. They demand to give up, and that’s exactly the opportunity she presents them; But many do not take the time to peel of the mask she is wearing to see through her facade until she introduces her lover, numbness, who hands them the cigarette, the alcohol, the knife or any other weapon of self- destruction they may have in their artillery. And even after then, many still do not care. Many still do not take in to account what they have lost or what they have missed out on when they join Apathy and her lover’s game; they will just sit back and watch the world go slowly past them till there’s nothing left, and that is exactly what they want. They want a world full of mindless pawns that follow their destructive ways, pawns who will not help the ones who cry out towards them for helps, pawns that will simply pass by with out a word or mention to their fellow brother, simply because they do not care... This goal Apathy and numbness’ goal is simply.. Death. Sometimes they achieve this goal, sometimes they do not., the only thing that ever stands in their way is hope. Hope is the only thing they cannot kill, hope is a bright light for all of Apathy’s victim and their only ticket out. Apathy and numbness fear hope, they scream and run when they hear her name or feel her present. They cannot kill hope, and they can never destroy her if if one of their victims welcomes hope into there home. But in the end, Apathy does not care at all if some of her victims break free.. Because after all, Apathy doesn’t care, and she never will.
