Heartless Vs. Having Heart

by Curry, San Francisco

We all know what having a heart means, and the dictionary defines heartless as, “displaying a complete lack of feeling, emotion, concern, or consideration.” 

I feel like I am a very loyal, loving, and caring person. I try my best to look out for people whenever I can. I’m the type of person to give a friend the shirt off of my back if they are in need. I am also a person who is forgiving of a lot of minor things. I often tend to try to unsee small things or not let them get to me. This is kind of what I would define me as having heart. 

But, when I get heartless, that’s when things don’t go too well. I have no problem cutting someone off or treating them like they are dead. Being in jail, I have seen a lot of people’s true colors show. I will never forget how people treated and acted towards me when I was gone. 

I don’t have any hatred or bitterness towards anyone. I will tell everyone it’s all love still, but honestly, I can’t look at certain people the same anymore. In my head, they are dead to me. I am heartless towards them.
