Unbreakable

She listens for the sounds of the city
And peacefully sits back, knowing that tomorrow
Will just be another busy day.
She thrives in this; this is the blood
That gives her life.
Work.
That's what it was from then on.
Never underestimates and always on the lookout.
She keeps herself guarded from other people's feelings.
Once, she became too attached to people and
It broke her heart.
She was let down.
Again.
She vowed never to let her feelings show,
Never to show compassion.
In the following days and months, she learned,
Or rather, re-learned
How to numb herself from the environment
She's surrounding herself with.
She closed off from people, she retracted
From the very root of her recent dilemma.
She took her heart back from the
People she so freely gave it to.
What's the use of putting your feelings
On the line if people relentlessly step on it?
The walls are up.
Yet again.
