A story of my life (from a not so glamorous Cinderella)

There I am.Frozen stiff in the corner.Leaning against the frigid, burgundy lockersBlueish-Purpleish bruises scattered all over my body.I felt like I was breathing through a hole in my stomach.In fact, I was positive that I was breathing like that.Inhaling made me feel like my lungs were trapped in a jail cell.Exhaling made me feel like my lungs were waving good bye to the world.I didn’t even have control over my own feelings.Sometimes I felt happy,and the next thing you know, I was mad.That was just me.Long sleeved t-shirts,long dark jeans, and thick dark eyeliner.That was just me.From head to toe, scars and stitches were spread out over my body.Almost like a difficult puzzle without a solution,with no fun.That was just me!That was me, before I met him.Ever since that day,I have learned new things.I have conquered many challenges.I have learned how to be myself!I’m not insecure anymore!If somebody dislikes me,so what!I don’t care what others think about me.As long as we are together,We will never feel lonely.We will never feel left out.We will never be shoved or pushed around anymore.Now we are sharing something much more important than love itself,each other.From this day on, we promise to never let go of each other’s hands.To never leave each other’s lives.To never break each other’s hearts.We will never let people’s opinions bring us down,Again!We are the true meaning of strong!We are leaders!And together,we defeated one of the toughest challenges that was thrown at us!It was a situation that meant life or death.Together, we chose life.The reason that made my life worth it was…him.And the reason that made his life worth it was…me.Weak, harmless, little birds that weren’t even able to get their own food.We admit it, that was us.Strong, harmful, fully evolved birds that have spread their wings and taken flight.That was us now,and that will be us foreverbecause we know that every bad day comes with a good day, and that every good day comes with a bad day.
