Who am I?


I was a shy person.

Easily manipulated.

I was a quiet person.

Fearful to draw any attention.

I was a solitary person.

Unsure how to connect with others.

I was hurt.

I matured.

I am sarcastic.

I am bluntly honest.

I play jokes.

My Curtain is a wall of rudeness to others.

Except behind it is simply a girl,

a girl that is wary of getting hurt again.

A curtain simply trying to protect a sensitive heart.
