#amihardtolove
I keep my heart in a locked glass case, not to keep you out, but to see who stays. I speak in storms and half-finished thoughts, in silences heavier than what I forgot. I’ve built my walls from careful fear, bricked with doubt year after year— and when you trace the cracks with your hand, I almost let you in. I almost stand. “Am I hard to love or am I too hard to understand?” The question trembles where I land.

Am I hard to love or am I too hard to understand?
