Lexi My world didn't just come crashing down--it crushed me. Secrets and lies hurt. And they weigh a ton. Now, I'm left to pick up the scattered pieces and go on. Then, when I think there might be a light at the end of the tunnel--that too, burns out. And I'm left with only myself to rely on, in a sea of disappointment. Learning how to straighten your spine and hold your head up high--when it feels impossible--are tough lessons to learn. But I do it. Because I've been working too hard to give up on my dreams now.
