Perceptions

Why speak when you have nothing to say? Using words that you know are untrue. Showing kindness, you will go out of your way. I have found that is not a part of the real you. I have shared my thoughts with you, you have continued to encourage me along. You know what I have been through. Once again, my people perceptions were all wrong. Why did you reach out to me at all, when you had no intention of being real. Did you want to see my spirit fall? Or to add to the pain that I already feel? I don't know why you came and went. But it is of no importance to how I live. Finding an answer is not worth time spent. Time that, for you, I will no longer give.

It is amazing how wonderful it feels to eliminate those who do not add to our life, but rather take away. Well done, and well said.

Thank you, Heidi. It is unfortunate that this scenario occurs more than it should.
