learn me. i'm not what you think. i see you look at me and wonder why i look so sad. you ask i'f i'm okay and i throw a smile on and say that i'm fine. so why do i do this? because you think you know me but you don't. i hide inside myself to keep you from seeing. it's strange to show my true self. it feels kind of like taking my jacket off after wearing it all day. freeing whatever bare skin to the biting wind and letting my hair down after having it up all day. or more like pulling it up.

"i want to be known as the girl who always smiles,

even when her heart is broken. the girl who never fails to brighten your day

even when she can't brighten her own"
