Sitting in the corner so quiet and demure;
No one can tell that inside you’re crying and insecure…
It’s not becoming of a person they say;
To grieve over your pain in anyway…
It shows weakness so don’t say a word;
To show any weakness would just be absurd…
For in this world is kindness nonexistent;
You will be devoured if you’re not resistant…
So lock up your pain, lock it away;
And never to anyone must about it you say…
And never must, in anyone, your pains you confide;
From these deceitful snakes must yourself you hide…
Hide it behind a mask, don’t leave a trace;
Of your sorrows, your tears, your real face...
And never, oh never, allow yourself to trust;
For friendship is just venom hiding under the crust…
Never trust them, those deceitful ‘others’;
Not even your parents, sisters, or brothers…
You’re drowning in it, your pain and your fears;
But all that matters is that you hide your tears…
Burying it all inside is what you should do;
All those feelings and emotions that make you you…
Believe us, it’s for your own sake;
To drown out your real self and live life a fake…
The one thing you must never do;
Is to trust someone with a piece of you…
Hide it forever, hide all your pain;
Even a little bit of trust will surely be your bane…
At least that’s what they say, advice carved in stone;
But must you really bear your burdens alone…
We’re taught not to trust from the very start;
To seal our poisons in our heart…
Letting it course through our veins;
Hiding our tears as we bear the various pains…
It gets too much for one person to bear;
I’m sick of sitting around watching you tear…
I’ll siphon the poison out of your heart;
Hold you close and stop you from falling apart…
You don’t have to trust me, I really couldn’t care;
All I know is, I’ll always be there…
For you, only you, there till the end;
And all your sorrows and wounds I will mend…
