Hey there, I'm Sheraden. I'm writing a story, so my name is a bit of both of my own two favorite characters.

Just to say, I'm sorry but I took down Sondra Swan; me in a bit of stupidity decided that I could use two new characters... and the whole thing fell apart, and I didn't save the first chapter of the original. Sorry, I feel bad. I'll try to make it up to you.

I'm that girl who cries without anyone seeing it.

I'm that girl who hurts herself without anyone knowing it.

I'm that girl who is smiles but is hurting inside.

I'm that girl who guides but doesn't know what's right.

I'm that girl who shines but doesn't glow in the dark.

I'm that girl who's kind but never feels the mark.

I'm that girl who'd fight for someone else's rights.

But I'm also that girl who can't sleep at night.

Outside I'm pretty, I'm glowing, I'm strong.

But inside, I'm hurting, knowing I don't belong.

I think of that weight that just hangs above me,

Dropping onto my shoulders ever so slowly.

I don't fight it, I don't struggle,

I just hold it up.

The force on my shoulders,

I'm begging it to stop.

But I just hold it together,

And keep the smile on my face.

Just hoping that one day,

Someone can take my place.

Help me take that burden off her shoulders,
Look past the barriers and help me get hold of her.
Take my hand and it'll weigh no more,
For us girls together, can be stronger than before.
