Confessional piece, My Inner Workings

   I'm a sad creature honestly, I fear rejection to such an extent. At times I would rather be alone than face someone turning me down. I lack friends because of this fear, it eats away at me constantly. But every once in a while, I take a step and try to crack my shell. If I do that for you, its a big deal, it means I would really like to have you in my life, and if you reject me, the recoil will be extreme.
   Perhaps I'm like an animal then, scared of the unknown, scared to test things for fear of attack...
