Some people hide their pain by being a bitch to other people. They appear rude, tactless, and seems like they don't give a damn. But have you ever tried observing them closely and see the pain in their eyes? Have you tried listening closely to them and hear the pain in every word they said?
I've known someone who hides all her pain and sorrows by acting like a bitch. She easily flared up when someone call on her rudeness. She can't control raising her voice when somebody says something about her behavior. When someone shows a little bit of kindness to her, she brushed it off and gave an "I don't gave a damn" look. She's very temperamental, yet very sensitive at the same time.
Most of the time, she gave off the idea of being though and hard. She never back down on any arguments and never afraid to speak her mind.
"I don't care!" "So what?!" "Of course I'm fine!"
Those are words she became accustomed to utter. Words easily spoken yet means the opposite. She can manage to make someone so angry at her and yet she just gave them her middle finger when they tried to confront her.
However, despite her rudeness and bitchiness, she's soft. Despite being nonchalant and cold hearted, she cares. Nobody knows her that way, except the few who took their time listening closely to her every word. Those few who showed genuine care on every actions she showed.
Those few who knows how to read between the lines.
And those few who make an effort in staring closely into the dept of her brown eyes and see nothing but pain and sorrow.
These kind of people doesn't need our judgement. They just simply needed understanding.
What they have been through have taught them to be hard and lead them to put thick walls around themselves to protect them from another pain coming. Perhaps, many times in their lives, they gave too much of themselves, they trust too much, they care too much, they love too much but also been rejected and hurt too much. Who knows?
We will never know the dept of their pain if we won't take time to observe them and see what's beyond in every action they take.
We should not only look at them when they glare at us, but instead, see them deeply behind those dead cold eyes. We should not only hear the words they say but instead, we should listen to what they are trying to tell us behind those rudeness and bitchiness.
Even bitches have their own story to tell.
