Mistakes...?

Her tears were the only things that sobered her and brought her out of her dream world. They blurred her vision but managed to show a clearer sense of reality than she’s even experienced. Coughs and chokes that shiver up her chest and throat make her hunch her shoulders into a pathetic stance. She shakes her head slowly but the tears flow swiftly down her pale face as if a race were taking place. She closes her eyes in hopes of stalling the water that threatened to fall. Moisture seeps from every corner, crack, and duct it manages to find. She finds her frustrated hands floating to her eyes, rubbing and scraping to diminish every last sign of those annoying waterfalls. She opens her eyes to find her once=clean fingers stained with two coats-worth of mascara and a life supply of eyeliner. She jumps out of the chair and makes the embarrassing trip to the bathroom as quick as possible. The sink fills with black as the evidence runs from her hands. She looks in the mirror, sweeps under her eyes once more, and whispers:
I
Hate
You.

Beware ;

I'm not afraid to ask stupid questions,
I love flowers,
I get left out sometimes,
I sing all day,
I'm afraid of losing my memory,
I create new identities for myself,
I'm a straight edge,
I cut up magazines,
I love doing crafts,
I like big teddy bears,
I invented the Mutual Palm Tickle with Morgan,
I try to see the beauty in everything,
I need acoustic songs,
I don't wear expensive clothes,
I like rainy days,
I'm freaked by fish and toes,
I don't wear lots of makeup,
I never make my bed,
I laugh really easily,
I love nail polish,
I change my mind a lot,
I don't take myself very seriously,
I like buttons,
I live by quotes,
I love France, and everything french,
I always say sorry when it's not my fault,
I live in the country,
I don't care if you're popular by their standards,
I brush my teeth for a long time,
You will have to live with the fact that
