Short but true stories

...

"Nobody cares... Do they..."
The small girl asked with tears in her eyes while she hugged herself tighter.
"They were all just pretending..."
She said while sobbing.
"Liars... All of them..."

"We care"
"I'm here for you"
"I'm always here"
"I won't leave you"
"I promise I'll stay"

Lies...
lies.......
lies!.....
lies!!!

"I just want someone... To actually care... To actually love me..."

Her eyes reflected no emotion...
She tried... But couldn't hold on anymore...
Her small crying body... She's been fighting it for so long...
Yet...
No one noticed...
They didn't notice the pain in her eyes...
The lies behind that smile...
The scars under her sleeves...

They never bothered to ask...
They never actually listened to her...

She tried so hard to fit in...
She lost so many things in the process...
So she stopped trying... But it only got worse for the little girl...

At home...
At school...
Everywhere she went... She felt out of place...

You think you know her...?
Think again...
That little girl...

Her small frame rested on a hospital bed...
She was so fragile...

Nobody asked where she was...
Or wondered what happened to her...

They just continued their daily life's..
Forgetting about the little girl...

Everyday...

They forgot her more and more...

And when she came back...

Nobody asked where she went...
But she still gave a smile...
That same smiles that fools everyone...

And they believed it...

But...

All things come to an end...
And... She couldn't fight anymore...
She stopped fixing herself over and over again...

She finally broke...

And now...
Everybody misses her...

But...
There was...
One person...

Who noticed...
The pain in her eyes...
The lies behind her fake smile...
And the cuts under her sleeves...

"Why did you do this...?"
The person said beside the small girls coffin...

"I noticed..."
The person said has tears rolled down their cheeks
"I noticed everything..."
The person then dropped to the floor while crying silently....
"I loved you... and I'll always will..."

And so...
People started talking...
One day...

"I miss her so much"
"She was a great friend"
"Why would she do that?"
"She was a really happy girl!"
"We could've been good friends"

It got out of control...
The person snapped...
"Stop!
Just stop it!! You never talked to her! What would you know if she was happy or not?! You never listened to her! Stop saying shit that isn't true! YOU DON'T KNOW HER! YOU NEVER BOTHERED TO KNOW HER! STOP PRETENDING LIKE YOU DID!"

And it was true...
They never did bothered to know her better...

For the fakers:
You think you know them... But you're wrong...
Stop saying you do...
And actually...
TRY to understand them... Don't fake it...

For others, just like the girl:
"You'll try your best to fit in...
You'll go through lots of problems along the way...
But sooner or later you'll give up...
Don't change for others, be who you are and if they don't like it...
That's their lost, cause you're an amazing human being...
And there's people out there who love you for who you are... And not by who you fake being...
Stay true to yourself"
