i knew a girl who wore scars like medals. she woud tell me awful stories about awful things that happened in her awful life... She always told them with a wide joker's grin. Her waxy lipstick red lips stretching and curving into a smile that held hate and tears and years of not so funny laughter. Sometimes she told me stories, like all that hurt, all that shame, all those horribul horribul things...were such a laugh.
