Pascifist

What it would be like to tell someone, I don’t believe in fighting. And that someone not call me a spineless coward. Every time you insult me, my anger is overpowered. I give into depression. Yes, this is my confession. I have taken a beating and more. But I’m spineless, you say, right down to the core. I know my voice is so small and I don’t speak up for myself when I should. If I could handle the stress, then I would. But my chest starts to hurt this terrible ache and pain. Every gasp for air is only in vain. I can’t seem to stop crying. I feel only weak for trying. This is what happens when I try to do what’s right. I just simply cannot fight.

Me too Kassie. Fighting solves nothing, such people never learn. They are often small minded and expect everyone to agree with them, as they are always right.I admire your courage, and commend you for being true to your self. you speak a lot of sense. All the wars in the world, and man still doesn't learn.It's always the innocent who suffer most. Well done best wishes. Pete.

You are strong, I can tell. People will always put us down but we must rise from it. It's good that you don' fight back - it shows you are better than that, that you won't stoop low. I hope you are doing well, and have a wonderful new year. Always, Laura
