Been Awhile Since Somebody Tore Me Apart

I forgot how shitty it feels; and how shameful it feels, when you’re weak. And vulnerable. And too nice to a stranger who you don’t realize hates you until it’s too late. And they decide to take this opportunity to cut you down. Slyly. Subtly. They look at you like you’re a bug, and speak to you with condescension. Was this racism? Or just their miserable personality? Who knows. But, on the bright side I’m already starting to feel better now. Way faster than times like these in the past. Cause I’m strong. But also not strong enough for it to not render me almost speechless for a bit; and to be rude to the woman who was incredibly nice to me afterwards. I couldn’t meet your gaze. Or smile. Sorry for that. I apologize. I suspect you saw what happened and that’s why you were extra nice. I appreciate your kindness.
