A Sacred Art

1.  Shutting the world out is a sacred art

Open only to the strong at heart

Holding em off with a fake *** smile

A guess at your thoughts is off by a mile

 

 

2.  While like every other art its got its flaws

You're guaranteed protection from gaping jaws

Of 'friends' hell bent on making you lose

Your focus and leave you wiping their shoes

 

 

 

3.  So while you bravely try to guard your heart

In a box of fake smiles and weak 'I'm fines'

You'll find it grows cold like a box of ice

And leaves you spewing words that pierce like a dart.
