Difficult

My walls are raised to greater heights when circumstances of any sorts become overwhelming and/or unfavorable. 

It may not be your fault. It may not concern you. But I raise them anyway. 

Because through experience I know one thing. 

One understands herself best. One can rely on no one but oneself. 

And as much as I thirst for empathy, I find solace in being indifferent. 

Because without all these defence, I am vulnerable, and I am weak. 

And I will never be that, to anybody.

Not even to me.
