To The Grotesque Legacy Of A Rat King [A song about "destiny", a promise, and my choice]

Can I be free of these strings. for like ONE DAY???
And yea no i WISH i was joking about the "destiny" bit. We BOTH foretold how this story would go since we met each other. Although - my Reflection's foresight was always clearer (and much further into the future) than my own.
Here's your evidence that I'm not Entirely Insane (yet):
My prophecies
- "Fire" (a poem I made in the mental hospital, like oct 2014): www.tumblr.com/deadratpoetry/...
- "Strings" (2014, around the same time): www.tumblr.com/deadratpoetry/...
My Reflection's prophecies
- "Mellifluous Vengeance" (apparently uploaded after Faceless, and deleted before/when Crazy Town came out, from what I gathered. Lyrics only, sorry): vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wik...
- probably the "Cure" series (so Cure and The Problematic Crow's Reality. at this point you KNOW which one I am lmao)
Additionally, some Historically Accurate but WEIRD coincidences:
- Being a Filipino in the USA during 1950s-1960s: • Historical Filipino Tr...
if I ever make it to the other side, I WILL kill whoever put us in these goddamned chains.
------
Also - I want to thank the people who knew about my story. Whether you used it as inspiration to make something new, or just discussed it with a private group of others.
To the people who fought beside me. Those who fought for the freedom to create.
To the people who saw my viewpoint - even if you sided with one or the other, or eventually didn't agree with either party, I HAVE to thank you for putting both parties into consideration.
Thank you for hearing my side. Thank you for believing in me - if you did. lol
Thank you for hiding my identity - I have FINALLY been able to come to my own conclusion (admittedly through a LOT OF YEARS) because of you all.
And at the end of the day - my decision remains the same.
In a world as constricting as the reality we live in - we ALL need a space where we can just, breathe. A place we can create stuff without needing it to be tied to our reality.
A place we can be free - even if just in the stories and songs that we create.
I'm not a martyr - and I'm not a revolutionary of any sort. I won't be ANYONE'S leader - cause that defeats the purpose of all this lmao
I believe that in the end - change will only begin with an individual person's actions.
Regardless of the end result - fight for what YOU believe to be right. Even if you lose the battle, your mistakes WILL make you stronger.
Although you may never be able to rectify the pains of your past - you can always CHOOSE to use what you have learned through it to make a better future. You can ALWAYS learn from your mistakes - and I believe that EVERYONE can grow from who they once were.
If you want something to happen - the best thing you can do is to take action.
Do that stupid, reckless shit. Even if pain follows after; as long as you can recognize it as your own mistake and understand HOW you feel about it and WHY it happened - you can choose to learn from every mistake that you make. And regrets will happen in life. There will be things you CAN'T take back. But you can learn from them; grow stronger and smarter, with every misstep.
Although you can never change COMPLETELY - I do believe that EVERYONE can choose to grow from who they once were.
And every step on a path that nobody has ever tread before will be daunting. Anything unknown will ALWAYS be terrifying, especially at first.
But who knows, you might be surprised at what you see when you look back on the path you tread - the legacy you've created.

(edit) TLDR: The only reason why I won this one is because I trusted in the intelligence of my fellow man - to understand shit I didn't see. Thats it lol
Literary mumbo jumbo aside - I am Literally not special lmao

Pro-gamer tip right (in case you ever find yourself in a similar situation):
If someone is trying to hurt you over an extended period of time - do NOT compromise on your bite. Say what needs to be said, and hurt who needs to be hurt.
The worst thing you can do in this situation, is claim that one or the other party is a "victim" or a "villain".
In EVERY mutual fight - BOTH parties throw punches.
It doesn't matter who threw the first punch - the first person to walk away will ALWAYS have the least scars at the end of it.

Also I forgot but ONE MORE tip:
In chess - playing black is always the easier way to win. This is specifically because white ALWAYS goes on the attack first.
Like with literally any "game" in the world - its easier to find flaws in your enemies tactics if they strike first.
So if this ever happens to you; I recommend that you observe your opponents ACTIONS before doing anything. In time - inconsistencies in these actions will lead to holes in their strategy.
And by the time you know what their weakness is - you've already won.
Have fun ;)
