I Keep a Written History

You say it seems that I'm hiding something- Maybe its my answers; Or that when you asked, I said nothing. If in need of explanation, here’s my summation; my trust has reached stagnation- I learned don’t trust what isn’t well known, And even then reside in caution- Don’t let your full cover be shown. Afraid; I am not- and secrets, I have little; So hold to the ones I've got- avoid becoming transmittal. We all love good mystery; It's simply human nature. I keep a written history, But it will not read off my behavior. I'm manipulative- as well as contemplative. I'm witty and I'm charming- perhaps over demonstrative I'm tricky- and I'm picky. Caught up, a bit sporadic- and when I speak, I am emphatic. But in this too, I am loyal- Kindhearted; Was left broken- When we parted; But I still cant wait to get started. I'm trustworthy, but if need be- also bloodthirsty. I know respects to be earned- If nothing else, It's this that I have learned.
