Walls
The beneift of the doubt,
Is something I won't give again,
After being lied to and torn apart,
I just won't allow myself to give in.
People walked all over me,
Because I let my guard down,
That was a huge mistake,
And it left me wearing a big frown.
They took me for granated,
And left me in the dirt,
When something better came along,
Leaving me with nothing but hurt.
Never again will I be able,
To let someone in,
At least not completely,
Without a little insurance from within.
The walls will have to come down,
At least at some point they will,
I'll let them believe that they're in,
But not that I am ill.
Ill with sadness,
Ill with grief,
I'm lying to them all,
But somehow I feel relief.
I can never say,
What's really on my mind,
I don't know if that's a curse or a blessing,
I'll just have to see what I find.
