Realms and Masks

There are those who live their lives behind a mask, either literal or figurative. It could be said that everyone at least wears a partial mask. Something inside themselves they refuse to release to the outside world, something horrible or wonderful that makes them exist. Most would say there is a mask and a core, but this is not true. There is an Inner and Outer core in my view, they extend into each other at indefinate amounts in all people. There are things you can do to draw out these hidden factors of a person, such as love them or anger them. There are people that would protest these ideas though... There always are. I am and am not my mask, we are the same and not. I am sane and insane, I am all of it. They are seperate, I refer to them by different names when joking about it with people online. This is in the sense of multiple personalities I refer to them though, not as a single personality that exists in me and changes shape by situation.

My mask as people would choose to refer to it, my public appearance. I refer to it as Grimblaze and he is completely insane, he tries at every opportunity to cause chaos in his surroundings and has little care for what people think of him. He supports the destruction of all and the advancement of his own desires.  He has some good qualities if you look really hard and the situation arises.  On the other side is Daemon or my core, a more restrained person, he understands his limitations and the laws that bind his existence.  He is apathetic about most things and walks around slowly and thinks things over. But once his mind is made up on a subject he can become almost as bad as Grim in terms of actions.  There is little separation between them that is real, there is a deep link between the personalities that is hard to cross.

These two are me, both sides.  What is life without living a paradox though?  Being both controlled and out of control at all times.  I let the insanity of Grim surface to drive those who will not look past it away.  Most of my closest friends know Daemon a lot better than I will explain him here.  It is not to say that I can not rein Grim in to act as a sensible person in a social setting, I have had to do this at job interviews and work.  The insanity is my mask, but there is no limit to how much I have become my mask, and how separate I am at the same time...  All you can be told is I am Grimblaze and Daemon, I am Tom Johnson and I am insane and sane.
