THE LIFE I LEAD.

Some call it withdrawal while others call it boring

I call it loving my own company though they are somewhat true assumptions

I lead a lonely life where i prefer my own company rather than surround myself with people

I'm i afraid of getting hurt? Its a question i ask myself everyday

You cant really rely on anyone,truly

I put up walls and its the life i lead

People are prone to disappoint at one point and sometimes it hurts like hell when they let you down

I'll do what i do and you'll do what you do and call it a day

Because at the end of it all we all lead seperate lives.
