I Know You

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I know your kind
The hard shell
Of indifference.
Very few people
get through to you;
they know just where
that one weak spot is
and dives right into it
without even trying.
You run hot and cold
either people do nothing
or everything for you.
I know you
you think that shell gives you immunity
you want to give you immunity,
and what you've been through
gives you every right to
surround yourself with apathy 
and harden yourself to what
you want people to see you as.
you have such perplexing insides
such beauty, so intriguing.
Such a exotic treasure...
you shouldn't let everyone in.
