Anger

Hannah bashed her dolls’s faces on concrete, ripping off Barbie dolls’ heads and cutting their hair so they looked ugly

She also killed little lizards on their yard. But nobody ever saw her doing those things and she always looked very calm and relaxed 

Destructive emotions running in her head she was furious, very angry and mad

But having a perfect pretty face and blonde hair nobody could’ve ever imagined that she could do something so bad

Hanna had become very good at wearing her poker face to hide what was going on inside her head, turmoil and terror 
She had practiced to smile for a long time in front of the mirror 

Hanna had felt real rage starting to boil inside her when her abuser had found a girlfriend 
How dare he replace her like that
