My Gift

I knew this girl named Kim back in 2020. She was like a gothic soul sister. She was the only one who became so close to me like a best friend on DeviantArt.

And I'll never forget how much she thanked me for just being with her and listening to her deep dive onto the brutal rape and torture from her babysitters.

I have a special gift many don't have. To truly listen to anyone's story no matter how dark it is.

This girl once talked about how she wanted to kill others for fun, but I still wonder if my friendship with her helped saved her.

Guess I'll never know for sure, but I'll never forget her.

She talked exactly like that girl on that forum years ago, who said she was a psychopath and had murderous tendencies. I'll never forget it.

But I know something most don't.

Those with rage are actually pretty normal.

The news will label us as a danger, never understanding the deep complexities of our psyche.

But I know a truth far greater than the lies.
