She
She wears makeup for fear that the scares on the inside will soon be seen from the outside.

The scares from the wounds caused by the words and actions of people she thought cared for her but instead just took another stab at her.

Plunging the knife so deep inside that she started to not even feel the pain anymore.
Started to wonder if there was anyone even inside anymore, or if she was just a shell of a person sent here to be used and tossed aside.

She started believing this,
For believing it was better in her eyes then facing the truth that this world is filled with people who have lost the kindness and compassion she knows we are all born with.
That kindness and compassion that is stolen away by this harsh world.

She lives everyday facing the reality that this is her life, accepting it as home.
