"Shut up,just shut up,! leave me alone. I don't care everyone just leave" she screamed in her head. She quickly sprinted upstairs and slammed the door shut. She ran to the bathroom door she screamed into a towel as loud as she could. Her cursed silence overbearing. Unable speak out,could never say what was on her mind this was the price she payed. She looked at herself in the mirror and hated what she saw.Her eyes puffy and face bright red she steamed imperfection every little microscopic cell imperfect and she finally whispered to herself while clutching the towel as her only comfort. " I've tried. oh god I've tried so damn hard to be perfect for everyone" she took a shaky breath " Why can't I be happy for once why can't I love being me? " she again succumb to tears this time she retreated to her mind "I'm done I can't take it the voice in my head isn't mine." Too many expectations. Far too many, she never spoke her mind, never once shouted out her opinions. A genius hidden from the world. Anyone would've broken " I'm done" she whispered "I can't do it anymore" she hated herself so much for being weak for using death as an escape from pain but she had been strong for far to long.
