Broken Past With Future Hopes

She's beautiful, or so she's told. Blond hair, blue eyes. "Model Worthy" they say. What they don't know is that, the outside may be beautiful, but the inside, not so much. It's tattered from the hard stricken journey. She paints on a smile, that everyone believes, no body sees the hurt and pain, that the past brings. Underneath she's... Broken, bruised, beat down, tattered, torn. This is what she is. That's what happens, when the only voices she hears are telling her she can't. All her life, Had to be tough, young. Learn how to do things, be independent, when she shouldn't have had to yet. Protection came first when it came to her siblings. She lived life, day by day. Still Do. But these things is what made her who she is today. Strong, independent, courageous, hopeful, she always thought there would be hope. If not for her, at least for them. Someone once told her: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" they were right. Here she stands today, more determined than ever, to turn her life around, to make it better. Better Yet? She WILL make it better.
