Sometimes you have to be your own hero!

Sometimes, I wonder if I am the only one I want to be with. The only one I am made for. Well, I do understand myself, know myself better than people who have tried and succeeded (to an extent) in tearing down my defenses. But that is the brain talking. Heart, the heart has its own different language. It’s guarded. Walls, guard right up, defenses. I have always shunned people out of my comfort zone. May be, because I’m too comfortable with myself. Not may be, definitely! Sometimes I wish I could unlearn what taught me to be so shielded. Feel freely; trust too much; love a lot, all without having to be afraid of getting hurt. But that’s what reminds me. Having done all this is what pushes me down. They say, “Even the best fall down sometimes”. I have been down on the floor for long. Far too long. Perhaps I had made up my mind that someone will come along and extend a hand. Tear down my defense with a strut. But sometimes, you have to be your own hero. 

“People may let you down, every once in a while. But what you learn out of situations, never will."
