Everyone Matters
Who is more important? The ones with scars or the ones who fakes happiness? I may look normal; still moving around, no scars, no evidence of my misery. Yes on the outside I'm still moving but inside I'm dead, still to everything that moves.

The smiles continue, but the real happiness soon fades. So; I ask you again, who is more important? The ones with the scars or the ones who fakes happiness? Your choice…
