The Little Voices

I think the things in life that hurt the most are often the little voices. The sly whisperings of people. The things that are said about, but not too you. The words not said to your face, but heard through the grapevine.
It hurts because they didn't say them to you. It hurts because you are the fool. The person that did not know. The last person to know? The idiot who expected better of people.
The voices hurt because how can you fight a phantom. How can you tell a faceless person the truth. How can you tell people who you are and explain the whole truth of your life to them, and why should you have to?
People are mean. Now I sound like a six year old, but sometimes thats just a thing you have to accept. People do hurt you, be it your best friend or someone that you don't even know, they can still hurt you.
I suppose the trick is to let yourself be hurt.
Because you can't wrap yourself up against people. That just wouldn't be living. If the voices get to you sometimes, just remember, they are only voices, and those that shout loudest don't always get heard by everyone. There are other, kinder voices too.

Why do people write anonymously. Got something to hide? She's right. People are 'mean' lol. It is human nature! No-one can deny discussing people behind their backs at one time or another. Some people can do it in a more malicious way though.

You find out. But yes every body talks about people and there are degrees of maliciousness. But when it is malicious, what do you do? Sometimes you don't want to be put in a box by other people. Particularly when you're confused enough about which box you should fit in.
