i believe who i am today
is partly due to influence from my peers and family members.
since young,
my mum had always told me not to hang out with people who cant study.
she said that hanging out with such people will only be a bad influence to me.
maybe it is because of what i see and hear
that causes me to look down on certain people.
although i laugh and smile on the outside when i make hurtful comments,
i do feel guilty on the inside.
seeing my batchmates repeat,
i really cant help but imagine how they feel.
the criticism and shame they have to endure from teachers or schoolmates who are bias against them.
i really wanna take this chance to apologise to them,
for not being there when they needed help,
but instead,
i hurled nasty comments at them.
i really hope that they'll do well
and continue to believe that others haven given up on them,
nor should they give up on themselves.
i am not who you think i am.
