No matter how much you deny,
A lot of people don't know,
What really does go,
On in your mysterious mind;
They say you're ordinary,
Sweet, simple and soft;
But I know you better,
You're enigmatic and a hopeless fool;
I see right through you,
I see right past your innocent smile,
I see right past your sweet voice,
I see that you're a lonesome being with no choice;
To you, trust is a treasure,
Which has no measure;
To you, trust is a luxury,
That you cannot afford to lose;
You have a biased view,
About this world;
You think everyone is waiting,
To hurt you real bad;
You think the world wants,
You to fall deep into a bottomless pit,
You think they'd love to see,
The light in your eyes unlit;
According to you,
Sharing your secret,
Is like giving away,
Your credit card;
You may be a strong person,
But right now,
You're cautious, fearful and downright scared,
You're scratched, bruised and disfiguring-ly scarred;
You'd rather ****** your own family,
Than share your deepest thoughts,
You'd rather become a detached, holy saint,
Than give anybody the access to your heart;
To you, trust is a treasure,
Which has no measure;
To you, trust is a luxury,
That you cannot afford to lose;
But my dear, don't you see,
That you're a trapped bird,
Locked in a golden cage
Totally not free;
But my dear, don't you know,
That we, your people, aren't your real foes;
Your real nemesis, my dear,
Is you;
At first, your thoughts may seem mild,
But after a while,
They'll start running wild,
Staining, tainting and darkening your pure, pure soul;
Your poisonous thoughts will,
Take away the goodness of your heart,
Take away the humanity within you,
And carefully replace it with -
Fiery, scalding, burning anger,
Cold, grudging bitterness,
And a deep, carnivorous hunger,
To annihilate the ones who love you;
So, stop being so mistrustful,
Open out your heart
Slowly at first,
Then all at once;
Do not fear being backstabbed,
Because no matter what,
There shall always be people,
Who will be there for you;
Do not fear getting heartbroken,
Because, my friend, you're so strong,
And there are thousands of others,
Who'd help you mend your heart;
Do not fear everybody,
There might be ten people,
Who might hurt you,
But a thousand more who love you;
Contrary to what you think,
Pushing away the world,
Will make you sadder,
Not safer;
