Girl, Interrupted

I do not want to put time and energy into something that I feel will not last. I do not want to take the time out of my life to devote myself to someone who in the end will not be there. I do not want to put myself out there and be hurt again. I am tired of hurting. My heart is bleeding out slowly through the cracks with every beat it makes. I do not feel that there is anyone out there that deserves my time and attention. Is it wrong to feel this way? I know that it is not healthy to go through life alone because I am afraid of hurt, afraid of pain, afraid of being vulnerable. I tell it to those people close to me going through similar situations. It is easy for me to tell them that because I know that it is true. Yet it is hard for me to practice it. I try, believe me I do, but at the end of the day I get the same results over and over again.

I WILL ALWAYS BE ALONE. NO MATTER WHETHER OR NOT I'M SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE I'M ALWAYS ALONE. I'M ALONE BECAUSE NO ONE WILL EVER UNDERSTAND ME.

AT TIMES I BEGIN TO SLOWLY REMOVE IT, BUT THEN I REALIZE THAT I CANNOT, I MUST NOT. I HAVE TO KEEP EVERYTHING INSIDE. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME. CAN I EVEN TRUST THEM WITH MY SECRETS? CAN I TRUST THEM ENOUGH TO LET MY GUARD DOWN AND TO BECOME VULNERABLE? CAN I TRUST THEM NOT TO USE ME AND ABUSE ME?...
