An extreme on the outside To shelter the world from the inside- Just kindness and love Will come from me- The hate I have from an early age Would only distort and blow-up The unkind thoughts in my head. You'll be someone I could care for And for a moment or so, I'll let you- Soon I should realize I'll only hurt you I'll be what chases you away And take the heartache. Keep my chest locked To everyone else but me-- The things I have to share in here Will just envoke fear and shame From you.....from me. You will not love or want What I have in there- You've stumbled on a crystal Only part of the iceberg. No judgement you hold Has grounds to stand. I will peak inside Now and then to remind myself who I really am, Touch the velvet Touch the lace And let that single tear take it's place.Birth sign: Gemini
