Broken by Shelley Wilson
People don’t mean to pass me by, they
all lead such busy lives and just don’t notice what’s right under their
noses. I don’t mind, not anymore. It did bother me at first, I had been brought
up to care, be polite and keep smiling, ‘a smile costs nothing’ my mum would
say, so I’d smile, care and watch my p’s and q’s. Dad had other ideas and would often stagger
home from the ‘Dog and Duck’ and happily wipe the smile from my face.
