Entity


Your mouth is nothing like a cold sweat
Formed thru conscience, tremulous fears, darkest secrets and endless guilts. The mouth is part of a body- an entity.

An entity is sometimes a beast, a familiar ghost in your past, a creature living inside a tree but sometimes it's a person who barely exists. Many people believed in them especially those who read folklores and myths but most people don't.

They are like legend stories, passed from generations to generations. But they were never the protagonist in those stories. They are the witch who became crazy for love, the woman hungry for fur coats and evil queen who never got her happy ending. Luring other people in the same labyrinth they were in was a chore for them. An everyday work full of selfish pleasure and fathomless acts. And like encantados to humans, they will inflict illness, insanity and even death.

An entity is sometimes seen by gifted people. But sometimes also the ones who live in the dark, inside the closets and underneath the beds. They can be handled by the brave but not all cowards because they are scared of their own skin. Of the monsters in their heads. Of getting find out. Of revealing their true skin. Of being feared. Of being talked about. Of being abhored. And yes, sometimes those cowards are the entities entitled as your friend. They will show theirselves at the most unexpected way.
 

An entity is deceiving. She will be called as best dressed. She will always be present boasting with the figure she thinks the best. She is a two faced monster. Praises and compliments will await you but once she gets under your skin, she will use all the flaws you have to wreck you. She will use all the words that could rhyme your name. She will also call you names, whore, slut, fat, ugly, bitch. She would do her best to make it sound like yours.

An entity is lonely. And she will use this as your weakness. Because she is wise. She knows you loved giving out mercy. You are good at understanding people and she knows you'll be there for her. You are there helping her arise from her own self pity. And when it finally hit you, you would realize that she is dragging you down in the same agony she's in. You see, you can help a person from drowning but not to the point where she's taking you down with her.

An entity loves talking so much about the things that upsets her. So she became one. She became the names she once called you. She became the people she hated. She became the monster in her head. She became the figure she once feared. She became the worst entity I know.

An entity is sometimes a beast, a familiar ghost in your past, a creature living inside a tree but sometimes it's a person who barely exists. And you are alive, breathing but barely existing.
