The Less Said , The Better

To feel is to be open, To be open is to hurt, To hurt is to be weak.. And I can’t expose that kind of loss, Not with my impressive winning streak. I’ve got an image to obtain, Never can I allow myself to reach out from the inside and disclose so much pain. I deflect what’s real, off my shield, so I don’t have to feel. It would be nice to let it all go, and grab hold of life And just go with the flow… But this heart has seen it too many times, Saying too much, And not reading in between the lines, Has cost me too much and too many fines.. I’ve seen it first hand the wrath of truth and what it can do, It scares people when you show them the real you. So isn’t it just easier?, To keep things close? Why put it all out there, When getting your heart crushed hurts the most?
