  I'm not new to the feeling of being caged. It's something I've always felt and I fear I always will.

  From a young age I wasn't allowed to do what I wanted , but that didn't bother me. I loved my parents, they loved me. I thought they wanted the best for me and I went along with it.

   Don't get me wrong they wasn't abusive or anything like that but if you have very strict and very religious parents you know what I'm talking about.

  I learn to cope with pain, keep my thoughts to myself, stay strong in tough situations, not cry but most importantly I learn how to keep people out and my feelings in.

  It makes life hard. People think I'm cold or shy, even the ones who know me the best like my sisters. I can't seem to express my emotions like everyone else. It makes normal social interaction a nightmare.
