1. Chapter 1

I wasn't happy, but I wasn't mad, or depressed. My feeling were mixed. I didn't think anything could make me feel worse, and then I looked into the mirror; examining myself carefully. My brown eyes were so dark everyone called them black; my messy black hair was pulled back in a equally messy bun. I pushed my glasses up my nose. I don't get how people called me pretty or beautiful; I was far far from it.

I glared at my reflection. I hated mirrors as much as I hated my reflection. Nothing is going to pull me out of my emotional state. I turned out the lights in the bathroom and walked to my room, laying on my bed.I put on my head-phones and played shuffle on Pandora. My favorite band began to play. I listened to every word. It was Make It Stop by Rise Against.

Make it Stop

Let this end

This life chose me

I'm not lost in sin

Proud I stand

Of who I am

I plan to go on living

Make it stop

Let this end

All these years pushed to the end

Proud I stand

Of who I am

I plan to go on living

Next song was Born This Way by Lady Gaga.

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'cause baby you were born this way

No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life,
I'm on the right track baby,
I was born to survive.
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made,
I'm on the right track baby,
I was born to be brave.

I thought about these lyrics to both songs. And slow felt a whole lot better. I may not be pretty, but I had nothing to be ashamed of. These songs had saved me. Music saves my soul.

I put down my favorite part for each song. And if you've never heard those songs you should YouTube 'em. Music video for Make it (I promis you) change your life. Other songs that are related to the topic are The Middle by Jimmy Eat World, Who Says by Selena Gomez, and Perfect by P!nk. They helped me a lot.

Anyways please review and tell me what you thought. Thanks.

Au revoir!
