The Black Box

I try my best to be a kind person, friend, sibling, and daughter but all my efforts are for not. No matter what I do or what I say, it’s never enough. If I make one mistake, they all turn their backs on me. It’s made me afraid to get close to people. We say all the time that we don’t care what others think about us; but I think deep down, being isolated, forced to only hear the negative comments, the hate speech, and the mocking, can break a person at their core.
