A smile. It can hide so much. The reality of life, the importance of a situation or even the body numbing pain that threatens to make you crumble down from its power. How do you get past it? You don't! You just keep taking every breathe, the horrible feeling you learn to dull out as you walk along the dark streets of the city at night. A knife in your pocket, your only hope that you won't have to wake up tomorrow. That's how I deal with it.. My name is Scarlett.
