To be truthful, I am awkward. When I stare blankly at you it's not because I'm not paying attention, it's because I'm too confused on what to say.         Yesterday, I dropped a book and when someone handed it to me I said good morning. To be honest, I'm clumsy. The last time I tried to make microwave Mac and cheese I forgot to put the water in and caught the pasta on fire.        Yesterday I tripped and fell on my pride, and it shattered like a mirror holding the reflection of someone who wasn't me. To be frank, I'm stubborn. I refuse to accept help from others. Yesterday I broke four cups carrying a box of kitchen goods because I didn't let him take it from me. To be candor, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of the things that I can't fix and the things that I never will be able to understand. Yesterday my friend committed suicide. And today, I want to too.

One day of honesty.
