Never Reveal


To anyone, never extend your paining hand
Hand that they might twist
Twist cos of distrust and hatred

To anyone, never reveal your tears’ secret
Secret to shield antagonists of making you cry more
More never reveal to anyone your fragile side

Side anyone might deeply explore
Explore to agonize you more beyond
Beyond of your inner secrets

Secrets buried can shun becoming prisoner
Prisoner of your worries towards your enemies
Enemies making you live in perpetual terror

Terror because an honest man was betrayed
Betrayed by a traitor who is confident
Confident because the perjurer is entrusted

Entrusted for breaking the truth
Truth no one will ever reveal
Reveal and expose themselves

Not every truth needs disclosure
Disclosure kills trust people have in you
You trust yourself, as you cannot betray yourself.
