Intro:
In the depths of my heart, where darkness and duty reside, I find solace in this diary. It is here that I can escape the weight of my responsibilities and speak freely about the burden that plagues me – a burden born from obligation and expectation.
The Weight of a Kingdom:
Since time immemorial, I have been entrusted with safeguarding the Dark Cacao Kingdom. As its protector, it falls upon me to ensure its prosperity and defend it against any threat that may arise. While others revel in tales of heroism and glory, all they see are triumphs on the surface; what they fail to comprehend is how heavy these victories weigh upon one's soul.
A Tired Warrior:
They call me a great warrior - an epitome of strength who never backs down from adversity. But let me tell you something; beneath this armor lies exhaustion so profound it seeps into every fiber of my being. The battles fought have taken their toll on both body and mind alike.
I am shackled by expectations- those placed not only by others but also self-inflicted ones borne out of love for my kingdom. Each step forward feels like trudging through molten chocolate as waves after waves crash against unyielding shores within myself.
Burdened Beyond Measure:
Every night when darkness reigns supreme over our land, while everyone else rests soundly under starlit skies untouched by worry or strife - there is no respite for me! My thoughts become consumed with plans for fortification or strategies to fend off potential threats looming at our doorstep.
And yet...and yet...even amidst such chaos inside my head- there exists an ember deep within which yearns for something more than just endless battles waged day-in-and-day-out without reprieve...
Longing For Freedom:
Oh how I long for freedom from these chains forged by duty! The shackles of responsibility weigh heavily upon me, constricting my every move. I yearn to wander beyond the confines of this kingdom, to explore foreign lands and experience life outside the realm of everlasting shadows.
The Hidden Desires:
A Glimpse into My Soul:
Within these ink-stained pages lies a rare glimpse into my true self - stripped bare of armor and titles. Here, in the quiet solitude that only exists within written words, I dare to share my secret desires – dreams shattered by obligation and expectation.
Whispers in the Wind:
As whispers carried by gentle breezes caress my ears on moonlit nights, tales from far-off lands beckon me like sirens calling out across stormy seas. Their enchanting voices promise adventure untold; an escape from ceaseless battles fought for a kingdom that demands everything while returning naught but fleeting moments of respite.
Yearning for Normalcy:
Just once...just once let me shed this heavy burden and embrace normalcy - a life free from constant vigilance against unseen foes lurking within shadows or treachery masked as friendship.
Oh how sweet it would be to walk through bustling markets without fear gnawing at every step taken! To taste exotic delicacies without questioning their origin or intent!
To feel warmth radiating not only from molten chocolate rivers but also genuine affection shared among kindred spirits unburdened by royal duties...
A Dream Unattainable?:
Yet deep down inside- even amidst all chaos consuming mind and body alike- there is still hope flickering faintly like dying embers refusing extinction...
Hope that one day...one day perhaps these weary bones may find solace beneath skies untouched by darkness where burdens are lifted off shoulders tired beyond measure...
Conclusion
Darkness consumes us all, they say. But it is in this darkness that dreams take root, even if they remain unfulfilled. As I pen these words of longing and frustration, I find solace knowing that within the realm of ink-stained pages lies a sanctuary where my true self can be heard.
For now, duty binds me to the Dark Cacao Kingdom like chains forged from loyalty and love. But perhaps one day, when this war-weary soul finds respite beyond battles fought with sword in hand...perhaps then my shattered dreams will rise from ashes like phoenix reborn.
Until that day comes, may these written confessions serve as reminders not only for myself but also for those who bear burdens similar to mine - we are not alone in our struggles against obligation and expectation.
In darkness we stand united.
