Whats Hidden

The thing I am most scared of people finding out about me is how big my heart goes for the ones that I hold the closet to it. Many have taken my kindness for weakness; however, I want to make this a superpower that I can use to my advantage. Looking how I look in the world we live in, at first glance they don't see my quiet and shy nature. When they look at me their blood runs cold because they view me as an intruder and want to end me. Many times it's like I'm in the battlefield and everything is being thrown at me at once. Bombs, bullets, grenades, words and stereotypes are some of the things I dodge just by the skin of my teeth. People swear they know your story, but yet never took time to read your book chapter by chapter. Even though your story may have a missing period, run-on sentence here and there and misspelled words your story still deserves to be read. But the sad part is they only see the cover and nothing else. That cover may appear intimating based on the illustrations. That first impression is your sentence for life. It either guarantees freedom or imprisonment for life within this society that we live in.

For real...

Imprisonment indeed...

Or exile at least...

I'm afraid in my personal case... don't really know if there's any hope...

Well... half is gone... more or less.

So... to hell with it.

lol

Wow! I love this piece and really relate to it. I also feel as though people have also "taken my kindness for weakness". This whole piece makes me feel seen and makes my heart go out to you. I'm glad you are viewing your kindness as a superpower now though! From my experience, it is the best one there is. Great work! :)

I saw this on the writers suggestion next to mine. Sounds like the pain of having the right pencell and breaking it without a sharpener. Seems like you've been stumped and a little taken for granted by people you are around. Don't care about the people that hurt you would be easy to say but the real pain is when you do care about them and never got anything in return. That's my deepest pains.
