I was 10 years old shy and timid. Public school I had never attended. My whole life I had went to a Christian School. So with a skirt to my ankle, I felt like a fool. I didn't know all the cool new songs and to cut my hair was a sin, was wrong. But I never walked with my head held down. Instead I became the classes clown. But to hide your true self is the greatest task and no one should ever have to wear that mask. Your breathing will get heavy and heart will race. But take off that mask and show your face.
