&quot;What, do you really think I was<br /> strong enough to handle it?<br /> If you did, then sweetie, you<br /> don&#039;t know me at all.<br /> These &quot;smiles&quot; are fake.<br /> Just another lie people bought.<br /> You will never know the disaster<br /> that&#039;s behind them.&quot; -Anonymous

Why should I change to please people? They tell you to be yourself, and then they judge you for you. It&#039;s like standing with your clothes on. They like you when you&#039;re covered up, but when you show the real you, you&#039;re naked. They don&#039;t like it
