As a child, I was always sensitive.
I'm not sure if it was excessive.
My feelings were as fragile as fine china.
Twenty something years later, that same child still lives in me.

Less malleable.
I protect that little girl inside me with all I have.
Until I have yet, nothing.
That little girl just wants to be loved.
Properly.
I have been building walls for so many years to protect her, that I think I may have...neglected her.
