The Mirror Lies
The mirror lies. In front of me, I see what others see—a respectful and obedient and down to earth girl. Everyday, I paint my face to hide my skin. The world does not want to see my scars: the marks of life upon my body. I lie to them to protect myself. I don’t want others to see the truth underneath my mask; I don’t want to be vulnerable. I want my mask to be the truth.
