"You guys believe that the world is fair and that everybody is nice."

I stopped believing that a long time ago.

"You need to believe that the world is cruel and people are jerks."

I do already.

"You guys are just kids."

Yet I feel I've grown up.

"You guys think that everything will come easy. You haven't worked hard"

I work hard to keep up my grades despite insomnia and depression. I work hard to make people like me even though they never will.

I work hard to keep up the act that I'm okay.
