So apparently I have trust issues! I always hated the phrase and I’m not sure why, but I guess I can’t complain if I suffer from it myself. I spent the first 8.5 years of schooling being bullied constantly. Once I got off one guy another would be on me. I always said I was doing well, but it left a mental scar. Poeple always gave me hollow sympathy. Compliments and help were given only because the people around me were told to, and I could tell. I give off a “stupid kid” vibe so people think they can pull off a lot around me. Nowadays people have gotten a lot better at hiding themselves, like they are putting on a mask every time they step outside. I can still tell though, because their trust is broken really easily, and they fight with each other before helping each other. People are just… toxic, and I spend time ignoring compliments because in the past they weren’t truthful. #ht87y #poems #poetry #untrustworthy #story #irl #writing #creative #original #acrostic
