Well, that's just how it is. Sometimes, you just aren't born fair.

Sometimes, Gods, or whatever you believe in doesn't play fair.

I was born as a rather... "Slow" child. I wasn't as fast as everyone else, and I moved at my own paste.

I wasn't born attractive either, so that doesn't help with my rather slow personality. Every time someone sees me, I could see a look of disgust on their faces. They won't ever say anything directly to me, but I got the message.

I'm not fishing for compliments either, I know that I'm unattractive

I also wasn't the healthiest child. I was always sluggish and lethargic about everything I did. I never found any self motivation and I hated myself for it. Still do.

Because of this, I was a pretty easy target of bullying. I was always getting picked on and made fun of. I would just curl up and sit there until the bullying stopped and they went away. They would literally poke me with a stick, because I was too "ugly" to even touch. Childhood was hard for me.

I was always crying and had mucus all over me from it. That didn't help with the bullying at all.

Then there was another prick that would make fun of me, when he was just as slow as I was.

"Haha! Look at Shaku, curled up like a ball!"

"Haha! Shaku's got all dirtied up from laying on the ground!"

"Haha!" Shaku doesn't have a shell like the rest of us!"

Fuck you Ethan, you're a fucking snail. The only thing that's different between us is that you have a fucking shell.

Sometimes I just wish I could be a normal human being.
