I’m the Author, Not a Character Written by Someone Else’s Pen
Why some people call me horrible
They say I’ve turned into a monster, just because I stopped nodding along to their tunes. I used to dance to their rhythm, their words dictating my steps. But now? Now I stand still, and they can’t bear it.
I heard my voice in the silence, a loud echo that doesn’t shake when they look at me. They use words that are sharp like knives to try to shape me back into the way they want. But these knives? It’s like I’m made of air because they just pass through.
They’re afraid, not of me, but of what I represent. A mirror, reflecting their own shadows, the parts they hide under smiles and sweet words. They call me horrible, but aren’t we all a bit terrible in the eyes of someone we refuse to bow down to?
I used to be a puppet, strings pulled by their expectations. But I cut those strings, and it seems that freedom looks monstrous to those who crave control. I’m not their version of me anymore. I’m the version that stopped playing nice, that stopped smiling when it hurt.
They say I’m cold now, a heart of stone. But maybe, just maybe, it’s not about being cold. It’s about being real, raw, and unpolished by their rules. I’ve become the villain in their story but in mine? I’m just someone who decided it was time to stop taking their nonsense.
And in this new chapter, I’m the author, not a character written by someone else’s pen.
People who have gone through a change in their life are described here. They’ve learned that it’s stronger to stand up for themselves and accept who they are than to just give in to what other people want.
Breaking free from standards and accepting who you are can be hard during this process.
Because they are different from what’s normal or known, it may also make them feel alone and misunderstood.
However, this emphasizes the importance of having the courage to stay true, to oneself even if it means embracing one's differences. It highlights that while others may perceive them differently and what they so-called horrible, they should still take pride in themselves.😉❤❤
