THE BOY GREW UP into a man, a beautiful, ethereal man. His physical appearance has changed, people would call it a "glow up".

Ladies at school would hover around him, shower him with sweet compliments,

"You are looking extra enchanting today"

"I am mesmerized by your heavenly features."

"Somebody call God, one of His angels got lost.."

Despite his appearance, the wounds in his heart have never been healed.

He was still that timid, fearful boy whose inner soul has consistantly sought for help, love and affection, hoping that one day someone would be willing to genuinely appreciate his existence.

And by that, he didn't mean just his visuals.

However, he hid his trepidation far behind the broken, using fraud expressions and hoax thoughts to hypnotize himself, hoping for acknowledgement that he wasn't a mistake, he was loved..

He wouldn't talk to anyone, stayed quiet because he was afraid, afraid that those people who liked him because of his face wouldn't accept his personality, afraid that he will receive the neverending hatred from people again.

I'm never good enough to meet the world's standards..
