Why You, of All People...?

Every Day...

      I walk through the crowd, the entire world...

Searching for a friend, one who truly understands me

    One who will not laugh at my differences and like me for my uniqueness

I'm with a group of friends, but....

      I feel as if I am always on the side, set apart from the rest

When I look in the mirror, I see a quiet, awkward 14 year old.

    But when I reach into my soul, I feel an energetic, loud girl, bursting with energy, trying to release herself

It's like I created heavy chains in my heart, binding me....

But why is it then, when I'm with you...

   I feel as if I....belong...?

As if you know exactly what I'm thinking...

   You like me for who I am,

And you seem to vaporize the chains of my heart, the ones that took me so long to make...

     I am me when I am with you.

I am me.

     And nobody else.

My smile.......is real....!

      My sanity weakens when I am around you.

My temperature rises...

    And I can't seem to breathe....!

Why you, of all people in the crowd....?!

If you are young... you have found the one who understands you for the first time... there will be others that you can be yourself around in time.. this is powerful because alot of people feel this way.. "I can be the life of the party.. but not fit in"... been there.. heavy chains binding your heart.. is simple we all are careful as others are socially climbing and in that process you get hurt once or twice and learn not to trust too much... it's about life-balance.. you only need a couple of good friends.. thank you for sharing this wonderful writing.. it is very good!!!
