Gideon Mar 8
A wise man has told me things that aren’t true.
A child has told me the secrets of the universe.

Knowledge is not limited to those with privilege and power.
Knowledge is often used to right the wrongs of those in control.
Knowledge is a tool that empowers the wielder with strength.

When wielded for good,
knowledge can be a pen to create.
When wielded for good,
knowledge can be a sword to protect.

When wielded by evil,
knowledge becomes a concealing blindfold.
When wielded by evil,
knowledge becomes a restricting rope.

Knowledge can create and protect freedom, joy, and even life.
Knowledge can be used to conceal and restrict the same things.

"Are
   You okay,"
  They ask. "Of
Course," I always
reply. And never once
has a single living being
ever taken the time. To call
out my blatant lies. Until
today. And suddenly
the tears fall
free.
Wounds may heal
But scars are left behind
The pain is unreal
Not all of us have a heart of steel
No matter how much we try to conceal it
We can still feel it

For concealing myself from the wicked eyes of melancholy , I tightly hug reverie and melt into its fragrance on intertwining with it as a twinkling soul.

when you
conceal
and not tell
the whole truth,

you leave me
in a position
where I can
forget,
but can't forgive.

I have been feeling a little frustrated
If it was for a short while I would have waited
It’s hard to hide the things that I’m thinking
I’m dizzy but I’m not drinking

I cannot conceal
But you’ll never see
Because I’m faking it tonight
I won’t say a word
But I want it to be heard
It just doesn’t seem right

I just wanna scream I love you
I know that you didn’t have a clue
But I would never do that
I just wanna make you mine
Baby give me a sign
It’s already making me mad

If you do love me
Do love me
Just say it
Don’t wait for me
Cause I won’t even tell
If you do love me
Do love me
Just show it
How hard would it be?
I won’t repel
Just give me a sign you feel the same way about me
Hiding isn’t hard,
It’s exhausting
Try to not make a sound,
Or they’ll find you
