Well here's a little story for you. I've been going through quite a bit in my family and it was really difficult to even get by one day. I was going through so much that all I did after school was cry. My life was hard. Fighting with my mom everyday, lacking a brother in every way possible, parents yelling, and there was only two people I could turn to. Two people that would be put in difficult positions if they knew what I was going through.
People see me everyday and look into my eyes and see this happy person that's truly not there all the time. People look at me and see what they think they know but they truly have no idea what I've actually been through in my life. There are very few people that know what I've actually been through; they say I'm so strong and they wouldn't of guessed that's something that's happened to me. After they find out and look into my eyes they see me in a whole other sense. Right after the first time they look into my eyes I've gotten the same response from most people. They say all my stories are hidden in my eyes. (If you don't know my eyes are a very very very deep rich brown) I laugh because it's almost the truth. If you look at me in the eyes before you know these things you just see these eyes but afterwards you see the stories.. pain.. joy.. and everything else I've been through.
Well I had been hiding these stories for the longest time and I'm finally opening up and letting some people in. These stories are flowing out of me and I'm comfortable saying them and I'm not ashamed and I no longer blame myself all because of the help from these two people. One of the two people I got into a huge fight with. Tears were flowing down both of our faces, whispering was the loudest we could make the words out, and one step towards the door changed everything.
The second that happened I realized what I needed. I needed to let these stories flow out and that's what I did. I sat on a bed and let them all out. I let everything out. We sat there on that bed for an hour just talking, crying, laughing, and hugging. That's what I needed. I needed someone there to say "You're going to be okay. You're going to make it out of this. I'm here and that's never going to change." You know who you are. and I thank you. After that happened I wrote a poem to try to let them know how much I thanked and loved them for it. I hope it showed how much they mean to me. Well here's the poem. I hope everyone that reads it enjoys it.
You
Hearts are pounding
Teeth are barring,
Laughing is necessary
And Breathing barely,
The room is spinning
Yet, I’m starring,
Dazed by your face
And Your angel like grace,
The butterflies are rushing
And my face is blushing,
By the way I feel
I know our love is real,
As we lay there together
I know it’s forever,
And it’s all because of
You.

Your poem is beautiful. I love it. Absolutely positively.
But sometimes people choose not to see the hurt someone has been through. Sometimes it's easier for them to act like it's not there. Like everything is just fine. Or at least that's what I think. I might be completely off. But oh well =) Either way your writing is amazing. You did a wonderful job.
