Everything and nothing.

**********************************************


There are people in this world that make you feel like you have nothing.
They convince you that you are a pauper in the grand city of opportunity.
They knock you down when you're barely hanging on and laugh at you as you fall.

It would be all too trivial to profess that you hate them.
You're angry that what they say is true, you're angry because you think your faults are so visible. Most of all you're angry because it reminds you of times when you felt as priceless as a bag of nuts. Dark times where you don't want to revisit.

After you realise that the truth they impose is a mere facade of their own spiteful agendas, you start to pity them.
You know that you have everything that you could possibly work for. What you don't have is what you are yet to achieve. Your faults are quirks, they make you who you are.You start to realise that their harsh words are compensation for their own incomplete, dilapidated soul.
Yes, you pity them.
It is them that wear the talisman of grotesque mutilation.

Though your cuts and wounds sting from their sharp insults, you know you will heal to realise that life is more than words and glares. Life is a many splendid thing...
