12. Shattered

I'm an emotional rock, aren't I? Impervious to all of life's hardships. I am not bothered by sadness and depression of those around me. I don't feel pity or sympathy. I don't care. Is that how you would describe me? Really? Obviously you don't know me. I'm not the tough girl you think that I am. There are days I come home and cry, literally break down. It breaks my heart to see those who have nothing die or live in anguish. I can't stand to see the people I care about upset. I may act tough, but inside, I'm ready to shatter.

Thank you very much, inside unknown. :) This one is my personal favorite as well. You're quite right. It is hard to sympathize for everyone all the time. Thanks again for the review!

Dear Katelyn,
I've read these thirteen passages, and this one, I decided, was my favorite. They are all written well, they were enjoyable to read, however sad they were. this one is my favorite because I can relate very much to it. It's hard to keep sympathizing all the time for everyone. Good writing :)
