I always considered myself a strong person, until I couldn't smile. How st5range it is to have people I don't even know come up to me and say "are you ok?' because the girl who has smiled everyday for the past 4 years is no longer smiling. Teachers have stopped me in the hall, ones who don't even know me, and ask if i'm ok. The girl known for her smile and cheer and full of bathroom stall tears. I asked you to swerve and you ran over me. You didn't even glance up from your phone to see I was standing in the road. You hit heart on, ripping it out of me, not even time to prepare for impact. I keep closing my eyes and hoping I will open them and I will be on the stage of numbness but with every breath I take my chest grows heavy. I feel sick.
