That Guy

I' knew a guy once. A guy with a very sad face. I got him wrong the first time. I thought he was a really strong person. I mean not like physically strong but more like emotionally or mentally strong. I had never seen him look scared or hurt or depressed He never really shared much of his problems with anyone and kept his distance from everyone. People who didn't know him thought he was arrogant. Some thought that he was shy or maybe just a little introvert. Others thought he was just 'fucked up'. But deep inside I always knew that he was not even remotely close to what people thought he was. He didn't talk much and never ever let his emotions show on his face. I guess he just built too many walls around himself. Later I found out that he was vulnerable to a lot of things though he never showed it. 

He went around saying "screw the world. I have better things to do" but he was always the one who felt insecure. He always fascinated me but sometimes frustrated me because I could never really understand him. He made me curious. And I did discover him finally. He always showed that he was strong but he surely had a vulnerable side. He trusted all the wrong people even when he knew they were wrong. He fell for all the girls who never really liked him. In fact he got pretty serious with one. He didn't built the walls to block the world. He built them to know who cares enough to climb across and reach him.It was very easy to hurt him. And the worst part you wouldn't even know if you were hurting him. He never showed it after all. But while discovering him, I actually learned pretty cool things about myself.I liked talking to him because when he 'put his heart out on his sleeve', I could relate.I guess I'm like him after all. Anti-normal. In fact I guess most of us are like him. Not completely but we all have little ways in which we are like him. We stay strong when we're breaking from inside. We fake smiles when we want to cry. We stand up and face things when all we wanna do is go hide. Guess we're strong and vulnerable at the same time.
