Betrayed Quote by Kimi Black
“Sometimes we do most things out of respect. But others will think otherwise. On the other hand, respect is earned. Trust has to be earned and easily broken too. We are only HUMAN after all. Only GOD can judge us the things we do, for what we need/have done. God is all so forgiving. Why can't humans do that too. There's this saying, try stepping in my shoes and walking/wheeling a mile. You'll see how hard it is to hold back tears and fake a smile.”
