It's funny how life is - one minute you're all smiles and giggles, and the next, you're all heartbreak and scars. No matter how much time you spend putting up barriers around yourself to keep out the pain and the hurt, they can always fall down in an instant; when they do, the devastating flood from the dams of sorrow will engulf you; push you, drag you, keep you submerged and then pass over you, leaving a broken, bloodied and bruised inverse image of your former self.
