What if they put a razor to their skin?
She wears long sleeves to cover up her scars.
The words said are like bullets that are embedded in the skin.
She cries her self to sleep while contemplating on saying goodbye?
People laugh in her face, but haven't even tried to step in her place.
She wishes to be perfect she says it's not fair.
"I've smiled and smiled to hide the pain."
The smile that is put forth isn't real.
She's smiled so much she doesn't know how to smile for real.
Anxiety, depression...
They laugh and engage.
If it was them who got hurt, would they care then?

However, there was one aspect of her life that always left her feeling self-conscious: public speaking.Emily had always harbored a fear of speaking in front of large crowds. The mere thought of all those eyes staring at her made her cheeks flush with embarrassment. Yet, deep down, she longed to overcome her fear and prove to herself that she was capable of facing any challenge.One day, Emily stumbled upon a flyer for a local public speaking competition called "Just a Minute."

She poured her heart into her words, her cheeks flushed with excitement rather than embarrassment.Before she knew it, her minute was up, but Emily wasn't ready to stop. She had found her voice, and she wanted to share it with the world. Ignoring the timer, she continued to speak, her passion igniting a spark in the hearts of everyone in the room.When she finally finished, the audience erupted into applause, their cheers echoing through the auditorium. Tears of joy welled up in Emily's eyes as she realized she had not only conquered her fear but had also touched the hearts of those around her.From that day forward, Emily's blush became a badge of honor, a symbol of her courage and resilience.
