Loss of Innocence

Perhaps I'm over thinking it. It's sad, but the truth is, I'm feeling a loss of innocence lately. No I haven't done anything crazy, over my head, or simply bad...at least that I would admit so. It's just that somehow a protection shield formed around me that's preventing me from caring. No, I haven't lost hope or the sense of optimism, but I can see myself falling into the trap not allowing myself to be vulnerable, therefore not feeling.

If this is what comes with age and experience, it's sure a funny thing.
