Perception

Wow, I can’t believe I've been so blind as to why this world has become so unkind I almost ashamed that it took this long for me to understand that I was oh so wrong I've only blamed myself for all my scars never thinking once that I strayed so far my dependency on friends was a big mistake cos I couldn’t distinguish between real from fake I didn't care at all about how the world saw me cos ultimately, what you get is what you see now I understand why people just walk away guess people just got sick of seeing me this way true, we should never judge a book by its cover especially when someone’s life has turned sour but if they open up, regardless of a platform? do we walk away or help them weather the storm? most times we assume that they’re crying wolf even though we never really have any proof that people who cry out are nothing but faking imagine the toll that walking away is taking that's how unkind the world is and now I kno...
