Anything in the world is given to a person. No matter if they asked for it, or crawled on the ground begging for it. A person is given something, and a person gives something away.

Money.

Food.

Pride.

Dignity.

Responsibility.

No matter what it could be, it will be given away for what reason, is locked into their mind. No matter if they bear any guilt or not.

Though, you tend to wonder, if she ever felt guilty for giving you away. What else did she give away along with you? It could have been her pride. Her dignity. Including her responsibility.

Yet, you are thankful.

You were given into the arms of a wealthy family. A family that differed from you in every aspect. Looks alone, was obvious from the start, but how you held yourself among your family struck a chord of fear.

You were obeyed. Respected. Worshipped, even. That deserved you the comforting touch of the man who is your father, his right hand upon your shoulder in any family panting. It earned the plastered smile from the woman who is your mother. It gained you the hatred of the boy who is your older brother.

Though, no matter what. Every person was turned into a mindless pawn, thrown across the chessboard, without a care if they were knocked down after. You were obeyed. If not, it was given to you, no matter the consequence.
