Behind this exterior

Behind this icy exterior

I block myself from the world.

My barricade of body parts

Against the world I face.

.

I see you, I watch you,

From near or far.

Waiting for whatever comes,

Judging whatever does come.

.

This is for my protection,

As much as it is for you.

Even though I’ve bared it all

It doesn’t mean I trust you.

.

I cover up just enough

To see what comes my way.

Giving me enough time to prepare

My antisocial response.
