See If She Cares

She wants to avoid that awkward moment when someone sees that she cares. It’s nice when she can save herself from the embarrassment of being a bother. But what does she do when she starts to pick up on the nuances? What does she do when she realizes someone considers her a nuisance?  She smoothes out her ruffled feathers, and parades like a peacock, because it’s a lot easier on her to appear aloof than alone. Yet when she says with a cocky air, see if I care, she hopes they won't see through to the truth that she actually does. Her immediate reaction to rejection is convincing the world and herself that she really is a rarity. She’s something of worth and she’s great. Those haters aren't even worthy of her hate. The only response they’ll get is her mock indifference, because she would rather seem distant than undesired. She’s the actress flaunting her sex appeal. She’s the pre-teen who doesn’t eat. She’s as real as the elderly woman who lives across the street. So next time you see her, please be aware, that the girl you see might be a girl that cares.
