pity.
the feeling of sorrow and compassion caused by the suffering and misfortunes of others.
pity in my opinion is terrible.
it's like you feeling sorry for something that was inevitable will suddenly
make them feel less shitty
about the whole thing.
i've been pitied my whole life, about nearly everything and
by everyone.
and let me tell you.. it's terrible.
the constant fake sympathetic smiles they give you before walking away
and talking to their spouse
about how misfortune it is and
how miserable you must feel.
they say it as if you're not in the
same room, rather miles
away from them.
they look down on you and say
"it'll all be alright, soon."
when they damn well know
as well as you-
that it won't be.
sure, this terribly dreadful time
won't last forever; however it
sure as hell will probably
affect you forever.
they smile and tell you that you're oh so strong to your face but once behind closed doors- they don't give you a second thought.
simply because you're not
their responsibility..
they do not have to worry about you nor do they want to in the slightest.
but if they did not show sorrow
and worry for you in front of others, they'll be looked at as rude and disrespectful.
they say they know it's hard.
but they do not know shit.
no one knows.
no one can understand like you can.
cause it's your experience,
it's unique.
the fact that it is unique to you is a blessing as well as a curse.
it is something you can say you survived that most others cannot say; but no one can relate or know the destruction it has caused.
it may have ruined your life in ways one can't even imagine;
it may even have ruined you.
but they can never imagine the destruction, they will only pity you.
pity will make you feel like you're being looked down upon.
it is a terrible feeling.
it is pity.

♡ pity 2/2 ♡
this is a previously published chapter on my other account, but I felt it belonged here.
i know it is a different format from my usual chapter, but you know what?
i don't really care.
it's my account and my story.
so, oh well.
also since it is an older chapter, i apologize for the poor phrasing and typos that may linger.
but I hope you all enjoy regardless, love you all ♡
