Too many times
I was sold a lie
But I whimpered
And let it go
Too many times
I was stabbed
Got hurt and bled
But I let it go
Too many times
I was taken for granted
But looked the other way
Still within me, I cried
Now, I’m filled with contempt
At the vainness of humans
I feel so sore
My disgust at equilibrium
How untrue, how unreal
Human beings are…
If your crying
Let me know your crying
But do not put on a face
Making me think your happy
If your mad
Get mad as you can be
But never lie to me
When you come smiling at me
If you love me
Show it with all you got
But never pretend to love me
When you can’t stand my sight
Cuz when you do
You break my heart
The affairs of my heart
Very deep and infinite
But no one sees
All they see are scars
Masked to hide my pain…

This, for want of a better word to describe it, is a beautiful verse.
