IMMUNE❤

 

Author’s Desk

When you stop caring, people say you’re immune. No you’re not. You just don’t care about coz you’re used to it and its nothing anymore. I’m not immune and many out there aren’t either. We’re just tired of crying and overthinking that the anger doesn’t come anymore. WE DON’T CARE BUT WE’RE NOT IMMUNE. The truth is I was never immune, I just didn’t care.

So read this tiny piece, it’s nothing but words. But the words hold truth.

Oh and one more thing, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. So say whatever you want, sweetheart, I don’t care.

Love,

Grace.

 

Immune

Remember the day you called me ‘ugly’

The day you said I looked like a rabbit.

Or the day you said I was overemotional.

Don’t you remember when you made me a laughing stock?

Oh, so you don’t remember how I cried.

How the whole school laughed at me.

How embarrassed I looked with tears streaming down my face.

Then I refused to be a subject of your insults.

My resistance sparked up fire everywhere.

You called me names and pranked me.

I said nothing.

You tripped me and splashed me with water.

I said nothing.

You hit me and said it was a mistake.

I said nothing.

You lied against me and pretended to be innocent.

I said nothing.

All those days, I remained silent.

I knew you wondered why.

You wondered why I didn’t care anymore.

Some said I was used to being insulted.

Some said I held it all in.

Some said I was immune.

But you know what?

I was never immune.

I just didn’t care anymore.
