The mask she never took off..

She lost everything — her best friend, her gentle smile, her self-love. And loneliness began to linger around her. The mask she never took off, except when the lights turned off. Tears unseen. Walls that once called her “queen” — a word she never believed in, a home she never belonged to. Her younger sister tried to cheer her up, to help her through the ups and downs. Her eyes, once dull from silent tears, began to glitter again — like stars scattered across the night sky.
