Delusion
<p>"I must write something!" I said as I thought of what to write. I needed a title, a structure, and most importantly, a feeling.</p><p><br/></p><p>Just like a manifestation, I felt something. This feeling was one of shame, regret, and realization, and boom! I had a title: "Delusion."</p><p><br/></p><p>"And if I must write, I must write of a girl who looked beyond reality and danced to the tune of delusion.</p><p><br/></p><p>I must write of a girl who cherished what irritated her most because an unseen future looked promising.</p><p><br/></p><p>I must write of a girl who tolerated and endured torture because she wanted the title "Chosen One." Oh, I forgot, "Virtuous Woman" was what she was aiming for.</p><p><br/></p><p>A slave to a mediocre man she was, because, you know, "No one knows tomorrow."</p><p><br/></p><p>I must write of a girl who was so blind to reality that she failed to realize that this mediocre man didn't want success, and even if he did, she would be abandoned for merchants' daughters.</p><p><br/></p><p>Who is going to tell her that she can't change a man?</p><p><br/></p><p>Who is going to tell her that the title "Virtuous Woman" or "Chosen One" isn't worth the suffering?</p><p><br/></p><p>Who... who is going to tell her?"</p>
