Title: My Barrier

Character POV: Serena Sebastian

Genre: Angst

I put up my barrier,

For all to see.

I act like all I care about,

Is boys and shopping.

But that's not true.

I care about Rachel,

I care that she's hurting,

And I care about giving Jimmy a few lumps on the head,

When he gets back.

But most of the time,

I pretend I don't.

I don't show that I care,

Cause I'm afraid of getting hurt.

I know Makoto,

Is the only one,

I can share my emotions with.

He won't judge me,

The way others might.

He cares for me,

Don't get me wrong or anything.

I know Rachel cares for me to.

But still,

It's automatic,

And I have to put it up,

Just in case,

My barrier.
