They all thought of me low...
They all saw me as nothing worth wasting a glance at...
Except that wasn't the worst part of it.
What hurt was that they didn't see or know, that all I was, was hidden...
They failed to see...that all I needed, was to be found...
I was judged based on appearance...
All life was to me, was a waste of time, and a way of killing some people silently...
People that were not considered 'appropriate material'...
Because in my world, you had to be this 'appropriate material', for you to be able to live in peace and be loved, like the big shit whom everybody would kiss the snail's ass just to have...
Unfortunately, I wasn't any of that...
In fact, I was at the very bottom of the stupid hierarchy...
Until the day I was forced to endure the worst nightmare of my life...
Until the day I was forced to taste the feeling of death...
And until the oddest of the days, where I was finally noticed by him...
