Show Him Who You Are

You can't justify people's actions, When they were intended to hurt, It might make you at peace, But you'll get treated like dirt, You can't let the devil in, If he'll give you a prize after, It just isn't worth the pain, It will end in disaster, We make up in our heads, What we want to be true, But if you act as a free sample, He'll keep taking from you, He will think you are his house, The one he stays in abroad, And if you keep letting him stay, Your walls become flawed Don't lose your eyesight, On where you should give pity, And on what is not okay, Because the blindfold was pretty, I let him in my house, He comes in all discreet, It's okay until he enters With his muddy feet, And by this i mean he's fake, He pretends he means no harm, I welcome him right in, But he sets off my alarm, An intruder he is so, He is not welcome here, I want to kick him out, But instead i live in fear, In all the mild cases, Forgiveness can be blessed, As long as you don't give Your self worth as interest, He does not deserve, The right to go that far, So stand up for yourself, Show him who you are
