Fate Tempted

A close friend once said something to me that I will always cherish.

"They wanted a girl with brains but sadly didn't want her to use it"

The girl they didn't want because she was too opinionated and outspoken for their own good. She saw the truth they tried to hide. She asked too many questions and it scared them to know that the hypocrites that they were and their dirty laundry would be aired out in public for all to see. So they tried to shut her down. Oh how they tried. And what they did to her, she will NEVER forget nor FORGIVE. She continues to bear that burden behind a smile. The world sees her and smiles alongside her but do they really know what lurks inside her?

The pain and heartache she felt (and continues to feel) will always be a reminder of how she came close to ending it all.

So don't judge her for how she speaks and acts, especially by what she writes. She is great at expressing her true feelings and this is her only medium. Judge her by the way she tries to smile even though it is the hardest thing in the world for her. See her as a person who has so much to offer everyone.

She made sacrifices then and continues to do so. She asks herself everyday, "When will they stop hurting me??".

She refuses to be discarded like yesterdays trash. Her only weapons in life are a pen and paper, and her undying spirit. They tried to break her. Why do they not see that she also has a heart full of love? A heart that longs to be accepted by someone worthy.

She feels out of place in this city. Weary of the arguments and the people in it. She dreamt of perching herself on the summit, armed with a sniper rifle. Picking out random targets. All mindless drones going through life, asking no questions and expecting nothing in return. Her anger fixated on the end of her scope. Did she dare pull the trigger?

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Carnage. Chaos unleashed. She did it. One by one, they dropped like flies. Her fingers trembled with excitement. Her pain eased. A faint smile on her lips and she walked away. No remorse.

I dare you to get to know her. I double dare you.
