Something

A Story by Sophia

There are so many words, so many reasons.

People judge me. People criticize me to the point where I give up.

People misjudge me. To the point where silence becomes not only a punishment, not only a reminder, but a friend. A preference.

My lesson in life, from every person I know, is Don't.

Don't Imagine. Don't Bother. Don't Trust. Don't Love. Don't Expect. Especially Don't Expect. I stopped ages ago expecting.

I used to and admittedly still do, as it seems my mind is one of my only escapes, imagine a life, where I'm ok. Where everyone I care about is ok. And nothing haunted me.

I crave affection. I hate myself for it. I miss the times where people would say something meaningful that I have actually earned.

But there's not much I can do. So I'm not gonna pity myself anymore.

I'm here. I've survived this long. I'm gonna keep going.

And one day, I'll be free.

I can relate to every line of this. And i thought i was the only person who felt like this.. :)
Being silent rather than blatantly ignored... even though you crave to speak your mind....

I think the secret is to hope but don't expect.... Never lose hope - you can do this!!

Very strong angry words from strong survivor. I hope for the day when you have moved on and can look back at this bad time as just a file among many in life. There will only be a few bad memories as good memories stay with us stronger and longer than the painful times. Thank you for sharing.

Hey Sophia! I like it! Why do you make it a story, why not a poem? It has elements of poem. And it's kind of personal. Touching! I must admit, and it wants me to meet you.
