The Lies I'm Living

Why is it so hard for people to understand that I'm me and I'm and beautiful young lady....that happens to love GIRLS? Does that make me so different from everyone else? Love is love and different people love different ways. I'm still the sweet, lovely, smart, caring, and perfect sane girl my beautiful mother gave birth to 17 years ago. So why does she hurt me so too? I love myself and my close friends (the one who know) love me just as well. I have made no change in my life, but tell my mother who I really am only the have her close me away from her heart completely. We can never be the mother and daughter we use to be before she found out. I can't be true to myself completely because she won't let me tell the world. I'm ME...deal with it!!! I have never been so divided in my life then I am now. I want the life I've planned for myself. I want to be a "normal" person...whatever that is. I just want truth in my life, not the lies I'm living.
