❝I'm trying, I really am. But, I feel so.. let down. It's like I'm falling, and there's no way to get back up.❞

Oceana Bloom, a writer and an artist, can't seem to put her pain into words and her sadness into art. It's not that everything hurts, but some things do hurt.  She smiles, she sings, she laughs, like everyone else.

But, her eyes tell a different story.

They speak about a girl who just wants to be happy. However, she's found out that she's never meant to be that girl. It was never her and it never will be. This shy seventeen-year-old struggles to open herself up to the world. She's always tried, but sadly it was never enough. Even though life hasn't always been easy for her, she won't give up. 

She's fighting for everything she's ever wanted. 

Hope, love, and a pair of wings.
