The outsiders think I am boring, too.
And that I could do no...

My mask is cracking from being bullied, beaten, and molested but now my mask is cracking more from all the pressure I might have breast cancer or mrsa cyst, my sister might need surgery, and finally my older sister told 3 people about...

Underneath, I am really someone completely different. I am not the preppy, bright eyed, optimistic girl my peers see at school every day. Im more than that, theres a past to my life that hides behind this "masked" identity. It makes me...
