my dark brown hair hung low, the ends reaching the middle of my back.

i bleached it twice.

threw in a vibrant fuchsia, and chopped to shoulder-length.

i stood in front of the mirror, a completely different girl looking back at me.

i smiled.

i let out a manic cackle, and the tears started falling.

i laughed and laughed, watching the tears stream down my face staining them black from my eyeliner.

i wiped the stream off my cheeks, reapplied my makeup, and calmly walked out the bathroom.

change is what i needed.
