If you could even call him a friend.'See Me’ is an emotional journey through the eyes of a girl who has forgotten how to live and instead barely survives in her numbness. Read as she stumbles and fails, learns to hope and fight in a society of injustice, pressure, and insincerity. A testament to the young girls and people trying to find themselves in a world trying to silence them… and the people that do everything they can to help them be seen and to see. Each paragraph holds a reality that you will either relate to on a personal level, or you will empathize with as you hold your breath—waiting for the moment she either chooses to fight or to succumb to the pressures of her unrelenting thoughts.
