Paper Cut

Info

It's funny how a single harmless paper can cut you.

And it's not a normal cut.

It's not a deep cut but it hurts.

It hurts very badly.

It hurts because the blood cannot go out.

It can't cover the pain receptors in our skin.

That's why it continues to hurt even though we don't lose any blood.

It also has another unique characteristic.

You cannot notice it.

You will just notice it if it starts to hurt.

That applies the same on my life.

I've met a lot of people.

And I never thought that I also met a lot of papers.

They are practically harmless if you look at them.

But they harm you in other ways.

I thought I'll never be harmed with them.

Until when I noticed that I had a lot of paper cuts.

It hurts.

I can't bear it.

But what hurts more is that you got it from the ones that you trust.

You can't blame them because you are the one who trusted them.

It very painful.

It's just small but very painful.
