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.
