The Ugly Little Girl

Everyone has a name for their sadness.  It is The Darkness, The Monster, The Evil Twin.  Mine is The Ugly Little Girl.  In every way I am what defines ugly.

I am putrid.

Inside each person, their darkness resides.  But my Ugly Little Girl consumes.  A demon possessing a body from within for 14 years, rotting, smelting, burning, raging, and festering.  She is a disease that spreads to everything I touch.

There remains nothing pure.  Not a thought, an action, or relationship.  The Ugly Little Girl has firmed her grip, buried her fingers into it all.

I am putrid.
