Favorite Quote:
&quot;It was gone, leaving in its place an almost uncontrollable impulse to laugh, to scream, to hurl things about. She wanted, suddenly, to shock people, to hurt them, to make them notice her, to be aware of her suffering.&rdquo;<br /> &bull;Nella Larsen, Passing&bull;

Anxiety riddled brains trapped inside
Anxiety riddled teens, who hide behind
False laughter and forced smiles.
These masks are worn to deceive the outsiders,
Even though everyone is on the outside.
Alone to disguise sad and tired eyes because
It is not okay to not be okay.
