Envy. Such an ugly sin. Yet, here I am guilty of it. See, I envy you. You who wake up in the morning not knowing what your future will entail. A blessed uncertainty filled with hope and mystery, with the potential to make it whatever you aspire it to be. Must be nice—to open your eyes and dream of such a promising existence. I have no such hopeful misguided notions. My fate has been written down on crumpled paper, made smooth and immaculate by bloody tainted hands for the outside world to behold, since the day I was conceived. There is no happily ever after for me but I’ve come to terms with my gilded golden cage long ago. It’s their destiny that keeps me up at night—the pieces of my soul. They are the ones who I would defy the devil himself for and stare true evil in the eye, taunting it to do its worst. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for them, yet I know the wheel of fortune is not in our favor. So, yes—I envy you. While you dream of your colorful tomorrow, I dread its grayish arrival.

Pride A sin every made man is born into. With a branding iron, our souls are scorched into believing there is no greater virtue than our syndicate pride—we kill and bleed to keep its honor. Yet, some might say pride comes before destruction—a haughty spirit before a fall. I say there are far more devastating ways to push someone into the fiery pits of hell. A lover’s betrayal cuts more deeply than any wound a knife can inflict. When she left, we were nothing but boys; little less than your everyday thugs. Too naive and blinded by love, to see deep into her traitorous heart. Her departure made sure to turn us all cruel, spiteful, and vindictive. And now, her deceitful smile returns, searching to plague us further. She wants absolution. She craves justice. But she is unworthy of either.
