Hi, I'm tired.
No matter how much I sleep, no matter how much caffeine I drink, no matter what I do, I'm always drained. I'm always on the brink of sleep, but when I wake up I'm just as exhausted as before.
I cover the bags under my eyes by slathering on layers of makeup, which erases the dark circles and discolorations, then brings some semblance of life back into my skin.
I cover the toll fatigue takes on me by smiling and drinking copious amounts of strong black tea, sweetened with a small teaspoon of honey.
I don't think anyone else notices. But of course, my mask is perfect and it never slips. I'm just "me" to them, so perfect and happy and content. Pretty little June. I have to be.
People like the beautiful, popular, and even innocent June. They admire and nearly fear her. She comes from a rich family, and is the only child to parents with high expectations that she always seems to meet.
Is it even possible for me to be awake anymore?
