I was forced to learn the hard way that people are never who you perceive them to be. We're all guilty of judging books by their covers. Just like when we see people on the news convicted of crimes and don't hesitate to deem them guilty despite our lack of knowledge. But what makes a person bad ? Their looks ? Maybe if I looked vicious he might've stayed away. In fact, I looked a lot like you. What makes a person bad ? Their actions ? My heinous mistake doesn't make me a bad person. I'm sure you too have a list of unspeakable deeds. If you were given the chance to know who I am , my story , and why I did it , would you take it ? And even then , after knowing my story , would your perception of me change ?
