His Own Clarity

You act as if you think you know me so well,
Yet,,,you have never taken the time to tell,
You think a conversation or two is enough,
To hear what I've got to say so you can judge,
When I hear you do this, I know your intentions aren't true,
You never really cared to get to know me after that conversation or two,
I'm no dummy, don't play me for a fool,
I won't play into that egotistical abuse,
If I invite you into my heart, it's for real,
I've seen this way too many times, and I know how it feels,
Some believe to see the surface is enough,
And some of the most Beautiful people on the outside look rough,
If you thought you could hide your ignorance and people don't talk,
Your highly mistaken about who you thought you could trust,
So if you wonder why I abruptly stop talking and you can't understand,
Its because I refuse to place my heart in your hands,
And it gets even better, because now you can't stop,
Evaluating me, and making fun of my heart,
Who has the problem? You or me????,
Stop probing my heart for your own clarity,
