Withered Sparks

Growing up, I was forced to act up beyond my age. Although I was still too young, I had to seriously deal with things. While I just wanted to be me, and not live out as per what other people; it actually seems quite impossible. For I had to be the good one, who would make adjustments for people, and compose myself.

I used to be among the usually recognized students for academic excellence, most behaved, reliable, and the one to be not worried of; only to become a living disappointment. Just how much I had to work for years to earn that appreciation, I just then easily lost in just months. Just when I thought I finally regained my sparks, I then drastically kept on messing up. So, this is Louanna Bernice and her withered sparks.
