He struggled with his and the world’s perception of him.
He had little to no personality,
Once he was told, a cow pat had more.
He buried himself away even though he craved company.
Weighed down by doubt, and life experience,
He suffered from social interaction,
He became accustomed to conversation going nowhere
In the middle of a sentence, his ‘listener’ would turn away
Excuse themselves and move on,
He was ignored, he was isolated,
You’d think he’d learn
But no, he faced up to humiliation once again
Tried to interact, thought he made an effort
But he accepted being shunned.

How terribly sad.
Sometimes it’s like that
The prompt just screams “mental illness.”
Yes it has that look about it.
Wow strong piece. This image really seems to resonate with a lot of bloggers. I’ve read quite a few compared to other weeks.
Thanks so much Mandi.
Excellent interpretation of the photo.
Thanks so much.
