We all have that darkness lurking beneath our skin. That one thing that you don’t want anyone to find out about. We’re all a little tainted. I don’t know why we try to hide it so much. Try to perfect ourselves, drag ourselves through hell and back just to be called pretty or hot or cool. Guess we just don’t like what we truly see in ourselves. So, instead, we paint ourselves with pretty little lies every time we get up and tell people be what they wish to hear. But what if we just stopped? What if one day, we all just decided to get up and be who we want to be? Wear what we want to wear? Say what we want to say? Be with who we want to be with? What if we all just decided to stop hiding the smudge that lies beneath our smiles? Would it be better? Worse? Would we finally be able to live with ourselves? What if we could show the pain in our eyes and the paint on our skin that we so craftily hide with long sleeves and pants? What if we just turned to those trying to shove us in a box and poured them a big glass of fuck you? But that’s the problem isn’t it? Those deathly little ‘if’s’...they usually just stay ‘if’s’, tearing away at us until one day we finally just decide to take that pretty paint to our wrists and finally go to sleep...
