Four years ago, a girl went lonely. Not a father to be by her side. Three Years Ago, a girl having her first birthday party without you to grant that wish. Two years ago, a girl's wish did not come true. One year ago, a girl's scars do not show. This year: A 13 Year old teenager, with a smile on her face even though all she wants to do is cry, she does not. She is trying to become stronger and less emotional, better. At this very moment, this girl is sitting in this chair typing this out, and holding back those fears of letting you back into her nightmares.
