The walls are going up

So, I've been thinking that the way I've been hasn't been good for anyone, specifically me. I've had it with caring for other people, for going out on a limb for others. I only seem to get hurt. No more. It's ending. I'm sick of being a nice person that people take advantage of. Sick of getting relegated to the friends zone, sick of not getting my chance to prove some things. So, my walls are going back up. Armor-plated this time. I'm NOT going to get emotionally involved with anyone anymore. I'm going to embrace the ball of anger that I've become. I'm going to revel in the disappointment that is my life. Since I obviously can't win, I'm going to sink in with the losing end.
