The people who leave open their heart and soul, once wounded, may never recover.

MOST GENTLE SOULS, ONCE CRUSHED
BY THE HARSHNESS OF REALITY,
NEVER ARE THE SAME AGAIN.

ONCE A GENTLE SOUL HAS BEEN TARNISHED
BY THE HARSHNESS OF REALITY,
IT TAKES AN EXTREMELY STRONG SOUL
TO COME BACK TO BEING AS GENTLE
AS IT ONCE WAS, IF EVER AT ALL.

FOR IT WILL FOREVER GUARD ITSELF
AGAINST FROM SUCH AN UNWELCOME
INTRUSION AGAIN.
