All that glitters is not gold.

You don't know what happens behind closed doors.

Family photos full of smiling faces.

Faces that look down at you with disappointment.

Shattered glass.

Yelling.

What's wrong with you?!

_What's wrong with me?_

I don't know how to decipher my own emotions.

Am I angry? Am I hurt?

_Will I ever be happy?_ __

You used to be such a good kid.

What happened?

Why can't you recognize yourself in the mirror anymore?

Why can't you smile anymore?

Family photos look like pictures with strangers: awkward and distant.

You don't say 'I love you' to your mother anymore.

You can't look into your father's eyes.

What changed?

You did.

They've always been like this, you just never saw through the polluted fog.

Open your eyes.

You're not that naive little girl anymore.

Grow up.

You're failing school.

You're smarter than this.

_When will I ever get a break?_

You're going to break.
