Bluff

What if I told you there was not beast in here with me; no darkness, inner demons, or doubts?

Would you believe that my mind is my own; that no whispers assault my thoughts or seek to supplant my will?

Would you take me at my word that I've never faced a moment of self-hate or indulged in a shadowy daydream?

Or would you call my bluff?

Wow, that turned out way darker than I thought it would. The bottom line, I guess, is that I'm human, but then, you would have guessed that if you knew me. And the rest of you don't have to know me to guess as much either.
