I recently found myself at a friends birthday party in this very mood. This kind of quilt up to the eyeballs reaction to everyone and everything going on around me. It's not fear and it should not be taken as such. I fear fewer things than I used to. I think its a wall that I may have begun to build. The top lined with broken shards of glass. Pieces of varying size, shape and color that at first glance seem interesting and visually appealing but deadly at a close range and some what dirty to be sure to inflict the greatest degree of punishment if intruded upon. The wall is only waste high though, but still impossible to maneuver without taking some large leap of faith.
I don't know why this wall has come to pass nor do I know where I have gotten all the stones to build the beast. Maybe its the fact that I don't get out much. Sometimes I think that when I tell of my adventures later that I don't want to incriminate myself by talking to someone I'm not suppose to. This only further inflates the silence. Whatever the answer the stark truth is that I have become unknown to myself. My situations and life experiences up to this point have led me to become this reverse Mr. Hyde. Instead of groping and strangling hookers to death with my bare hands I've compromised to stand quietly off to the side and wish that I had something valid to say.
Who am I? Does anyone know? If so I would like to be reintroduced.
