another thing i wish i wrote

and right now I will just keep quiet,

 to avoid any disturbance

There’s a reason why my walls are built so high,
and there’s a reason it will take you longer than expected to bring them down.
There’s a reason why I’m guarded.

I’m guarded because no one has ever protected me as well as I protect myself.
My own armor has been stronger than yours,
       or his,
            or hers,
and it will continue to be until someone shows me otherwise. 

Life will bring hurt and pain,
and people will disappoint you,
but no one has the ability to break down your walls except for you.
I’m guarded because I’ve chosen to be that way.....
