You are not allowed to like me I'm afraid of what it will do to me I can't let you get close to me I'm afraid of how you will hurt me I've caged my self up for a year, not letting anyone have the key my padlocked heart never beating just a fist pounding against the wall, mimicking my missing emotions awaiting the realization from those around me that the key to my heart is not in my pants, and THOSE need a key as well the key to my heart is in my mind, if you can fool me into believing you like me, you get my heart, if you can fool my heart into believing you love me, you get my mind. so maybe i am a foolish person the walls of the cage my only comfort, cold metal my closest friend, the slightest movement and it caresses my skin the words I speak bouncing off of impenetrable walls sinking in to my skin, my veins slowing the blood flow to my emotionless heart compressed, depressed, soulless and asleep You are not allowed to like me There is no reason to The words i speak sharpened to daggers, in the hopes of removing your flesh, freeing your blood to the floor mine has stainedΒ Β My skin a canvas for the art of pain, my emotions wounding me, My scalp the hidden salvation for my nails, leaving holes as claw away the thoughts of a happiness I am afraid of having Blood and tears the last memory of happiness blood and tears the ocean i drown myself in Blood and tears washing away my fearlessness blood and tears the ocean i drown myself in Blood and tears washing away my fearlessness Blood and tears scabbing together what is left of me You are not allowed to like me I'm afraid of myself I can't let you get close to me I break too easy I'm fragile The walls of the cage my only comfort they hold me
