There are a lot of things I see or hear, but I’d have to pretend I don’t see or hear them. Being part of a very judgmental society like ours, I need to show that I am strong. I need to show that I am happy. I need to show that I have no problems. I need to be confident. I need to face everyone with a huge smile on my face. I need to make everyone feel how thankful I am that they are willing to accept me. I owe them, don’t I?
When night comes, reality sinks in. I cry myself to sleep and wish I had a choice. I wake up in the morning and try to think happy thoughts. A new day starts, I need to smile.
