I'm not closed off because I don't like people. I'm not reserved because I've been hurt. I simply am the way I am because I don't want to be wounded. In a world full of liars, cheats and snakes, I am a human of great depth and sensitivity. Should I dare expose my soul's deepest workings I know someone will abuse it, ruin it. So don't turn your nose up at my behavior. I'm not looking to be hurt because of who I am. I'm guarded because I am deep, not because I'm rude. Please, don't look down on my silence.
