"I walk around with this brick wall attitude, hoping everyone will believe I'm tough like that. Hoping it looks as though nothing can break me, like not even the cruelest of words could make it under my skin, and not even the most brutal silence can touch me. But I suppose I'm a walking lie, shoes filled with mechanisms of self protective ways. You have to be that way sometimes, because if any hearts are going to break around here, I can't let it be mine."
