How Do You Know
How do you know what you deserve?
How do you condign yourself so free?
How do you know where your treason lies?
How do you know thy true worth and thee?
How do you judge yourself unrestricted?
How do you define your deeds so clearly?
How do you know what right and wrong is?
Or is it the notions society taught you so dearly?
How do the people pay when you are mentally dying?
How do they respond to your gut-wrenching cries?
They'll always stand to judge you and me,
Each and every time spewing bunches of lies.
A secret here, is not really one,
It's a bullet that can kill you,
That's why you trust so less with it,
Why not more? Why so few?
You're afraid, you are scared,
Of all the judgments they'll pass,
You don't want them to know your dark side,
Your trust in yourself is more fragile than glass.
You give priority to the ones,
Who've hurt you in your life.
Their taunts will never end,
While you bare your mind to their knife.
Ask yourself, what matters more,
Your felicity or their conclusion?
Ask yourself, how you want to live your life,
Live free or under a delusion?
