Secrets And Lies.

People use the colour yellow to symbolise hope. Yellow like the sun we rarely saw. When I was very young I thought life would be like one long and perfect summer day, after all it started out that way. We were four beautiful children with blonde hair and porcelain skin. People said we looked like those fancy dresden dolls that graced shelves and mantles, only we weren't just admired we were really loved. But that was before .
