She got some prittstick and she glued her lips together, so she never had to speak..." " ...But by then it's too late, no one wants to know me. " Does anyone else feel like no one around them knows anything about them except for a few shallow things? Isn't it scary once you realize that no one at all really knows who you are?

I would like everyone around me to know who I really am and what I have to offer.
