Pretending.

by Deirdra   Feb 22, 2005


Looking into the mirror, day after day it's always the same. Wiping away the tears and making a new face that has absolutely no fears. Like the one that she once had for so many years, the one that sparkled constantly and almost never had a single tear. But eventually life wore her down, with its trials and tribulations. Not a soul knows the fear in the face that hides behind it all, they see what she wants them to see. A girl who knows no sorrow, no trouble, and hasn't a care in the world, even if it isn't really who she is or will ever be. The point of her whole disguise isn't to fool anyone or even to pretend to be something she's not, it's to keep from hurting herself and the things that she loves.
