Okay so first of all, fuck you, because you weren't writing???!! (I'M MEAN LIKE THAT🤗)

And now I apologise for the cursing and ask you what even was this?? LIKE OKAY LEMME FCOME UP WITH WHAT I THINK IT IS AND TELL ME IF I'M CORRECT OR CLOSE

So I think that the creature which is rotten and all is GOD?? Not the mainstream god who blesses and corrects but rather your version of god who is evil and doesn't help or correct but still carves the wings out of you to fly(and by carving wings do you mean unleashing the potential?) At some point or the other. I also think that this creature can be a future version of ourselves, like the version we may hypothetically become after we die while not reaching our full potential-so this hypothetical version in its' own dread chases us back and makes sure that we grow wings and attain our full potential. And I also think that this creature can be the dread that we have of not achieving our own potential, eventually this dread grows so big that it resembles a monster and tries to clip its way into our life by carving our wings, it is like the dread grows too big to be just in the head and eventually manifests itself into the physical realm-in this act the dread changes us and finally helps us achieving our won potential.

Okay so these were my thoughts and sorry for the long comment but pls do tell me what this means coz I won't be able to sleep okay?? THIS IS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL AT SO MANY LEVELS, WOW ARU WOWW🩷🩷🩷!!!!

HAGAHA ABSOLUTELY EXACTLY THAT...BUT ONLY THAT THE CREATURE WAS FOR ME ADULTHOOD PERSONIFIED...THE GHOST OF PUBERTY... BECAUSE ITS LATE THAT'S WHY ITS DEFORMED AND SCARY....AND YES THE BIT ABOUT THE CREATURE BEING A VERSION OF YOU WAS DEF ON MY MIND. THANKYOU FOR READING I LOVE YOUR INTERPRETATIONS AND LONG COMMENTS 💓💓💓💓

Butterfly Blues's avatar

Well, honest reading this makes my want to cry my e yes out, because when you're forced to grow up after being sheltered like an angel it— kills you in the slowest way possible.

But yes, I can't cry because I've suppressed it enough my eyes are unable to shed more than few drops of tears lol!

Thank you for writing this piece of work I'll have close to my heart!!

summer's avatar

WOW! You are back with another masterpiece! The way you describe things creates such a vivid imagery, even if it is of a horrifying gory monster is commendable. This is a shared feeling, and I feel no one can truly understand it unless they have experienced it!
