My Heart

by Bethany, San Diego

My heart looks through my eyes. My heart will touch you through my body. My heart will be shown through a laugh, but my heart can never care or beat for someone who did me wrong in the slightest way. It’s hard to explain, but when I get angry, I have no heart and no pure mind. 

I only have anger and the way it comes out is through my body. My mind shuts off, my eyes black out, and then I seem to wake up when people are pulling me off. It’s different when I found out they were keeping secrets. I lose the little bit of respect I had for you. 

When I was younger, I told myself I could love someone, but I don’t trust you and I told my brother who told me not to trust anyone. “I love you, but I hate the fact that I can’t trust you”, he said. “I love you too, but I still don’t trust.”
