My Tornado

I was young when I knew my feelings No one took me seriously they said I was "too young" I believed them and hid what I felt I tried to be "normal" but it didn't work out. No matter what I did or how many guys I dated I still felt like I was lying to everyone especially myself. The self torment went on for years on end until I finally told a close friend she accepted me and helped me get through it then I lost her when I had to move again We still talked but it wasn't quite the same She was too far away, she wasn't around to be there for me especially when I was down. I became depressed and still tried to be "normal" But then I moved to a place where I was accepted where I could be me. No lies, no secrets however I couldn't be me at home School became my home where I was accepted No one judged me and I was free. Then I had to move again and my security was stripped away. I slipped back into sadness I became hateful towards my family then I met someone that cared about me. She made me smile, she made me laugh, I was able to be myself with her. When she asked me to be with her, I said yes, and my heart swelled with joy. She held me together when I was broken, she was the missing part of me. Her hair, her smile, were imperfections to her, but were perfect to me. She made my tornado of emotions finally become peace.
