Someone

Someone once told me

that diamonds are found quietly,

while cheap glass catches attention immediately.

I didn't understand that then.

Back then, I thought being genuine would automatically make people stay.

I thought honesty would be recognized without having to fight for it.

 

But life introduced me to people

who knew how to pertorm kindness better than

they knew how to practice it.

 

And strangely,

the loudest hearts in the room

were often the emptiest.

Meanwhile, the most sincere people

I knew kept questioning whether

they were too much or not enough.

 

That's the tragedy of this world-real souls

tend to speak softly, while false ones master

the art of being admired.
