A voice kept within For she was afraid, Afraid to be judged by society. Mara S. Real was always the silent type. People just assumed that she was too shy to speak up. But she wasn't. She was afraid. Afraid of what the world may say if she did. She always kept silent, and her friends always wondered why. In their last year of high school, however, they make efforts to let Mara show the world her real self. Will friendship save the day? This story is meant to inspire my Wanners to be their true selves. Never forget that you are special in your own way and that you should let what others say about. <3
