Sheltered Heart

I'm the leader, the mother, the bookworm, the teaser, the listener. I'm the sister, the protector, the stubborn one. I'm the pillar of strength. But even I have things I don't want to say. I'm not the perfect person they all see me as. I'm glad. I don't want them to be worried by my troubles. They have they're own problems. I've known some of them for years.

Kristen: My best friend,my sister. I've known her since 3rd grade and we're still best-friends. We tell each other everything. Or almost everything.

Anna: The talker, the arguer. Some days I really want to kill her, but then i remember I love her. I've known her since 5th grade. She's like my sister.

Hannah:I've known her a year. We have so much in common its scary. We're close but distant. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

Seth: I've known him a year. He has the personality that makes me wanna smack him,and then he says something sweet that totally confuses me. But he's there when I need him.

Matt:I've known him a year and a half. He's there when I need him, and is the protective older brother figure for me. He's my confidant,and we both know how much I appreciate it.

Alex:I've known him since 1st grade. I tell him almost everything now. But some things I don't tell him. Because there are some things no one needs to hear. 

Have you ever felt that you have a secret, but it's not your secret to share? I believe everyone has a shell around they're heart, hiding the things that they don't want to share. They may not even know it. I didn't either until my best-friend told me,I have the hardest wall. And Alex is the boy who started to try to knock the wall down. And I love him for it.
