Nobody would've ever guessed that I, Maggie, the crazy, joyful, happy one, could've ever done what I did. I, Maggie, the one that prances around, not giving a **** The one that takes life by the hand and pulls it along after her; while deep inside, she scorns it. As I smile on the outside, no one can guess the amount of pain that my soul is putting up with. I mask it with false joy, unknown to others and unseeable except for when I slash it open on my wrists, legs; My only weak spots. And nobody would've guessed that I, Maggie, the one who loves, hated herself enough to try to end herself. They never could've, though. I gave them no reason to. So why would I want them to think that I did? I blame the hormones.

I, Maggie
