Tell them everything before they step in, every story that had a part of you gone, every story that keeps you going, and every ******* flaw.
Because if they know you're made out of wood and stones, they wouldn't dare to set a bonfire, or would they? Is this why my sister kept telling me not to show anyone my weaknesses? Tell me is this why? Is it why you set the bonfire?
What's the point of words then, they are definitely louder than actions, and oh yes, actions can be as untruthful as words.
And if they knew that you can't swim and the ocean triggers you, would they take you to an island? or an aquarium?
If they knew you only lived in the fantasy world, would they wake you up from a nightmare?
If they knew your words always, always fail you when you're upset, would they take all your words for granted?
I stand here with my crooked smile with one last denial card in my pocket, failing myself one last time.
"Don't show/tell them your weaknesses"
