Shampoo and Conditioner
3:34am. I couldn’t take it anymore. At this time of day I never could. I also could never seem to fall asleep earlier so that I could avoid that empty feeling that comes along with it.

I Am Not Me.
I’m ruining your image of me aren’t I? I promise you I don’t mean it. I really don’t. I didn’t mean to yell when you called my name and I didn’t mean to tell you to shut up that other time. Everything starts out as a joke, I thought you would understand. But maybe that’s too much to expect.

She Doesn't Know a Thing
All her life, she dreamt the dreams that kept her alive. She knew that one day, everything would precisely fall into place and she would be happy. She would no longer feel trapped, she would no longer feel alone. Everything she ever wanted would finally be her own.
