Dear Mom and Dad,

Did you ever expect your child to be so broken?

So consumed with her own self hatred that she barely looks at herself in the mirror?

Anyways..
You should be proud mom and dad

Your daughter is an actress

She taught herself how to wear her smile like make up

To hide her pain so well you would have never known something was wrong

She has learnt how to always be spotlight ready everytime she walks out of her room

I mean dressing room, even when the pain was eating her alive

If there were awards for hiding your emotions
She would have won first place

She has gotten so good she can't even tell if if her emotions are real or not anymore
