I’ve

always stood out in the crowd even though it’s not been always a good thing.

You see I’m different and I’ve always have been but the color red has always made me feel strong and confident.

I know even though I am hiding now in this photo the red draws you in and you want to know the girl behind the umbrella.

Maybe one day when I feel the world is ready to meet me again will I come out behind the things that help hide the true me.

Maybe I will one day be okay with being out in the crowd again and not worry about anything but, enjoying the time I have out in the open with a smile on my face.

Letting the sun shine down on me and hiding nothing from this world I live in today.
