Unapologetically Naked
I saw your true self today ,
And am not pleased to know :
That the person I perceived as fire,
Is cold and white as snow.
I loved the mask you carried !
And the way your opinions varied,
With the people around you.
And l would keep it that way ,
If I were to be in your shoe.
But you let your emotions rule ,
You let your strength fade ,
And then expect me all of a sudden ,
To love you in all your shades ?
Hear me , take my word for this.
If you act well , I'll forgive you miss !
Just pick up that mask you dropped.
Paint your face with a smile and walk.
Keep your inside to yourself.
Hide your darkness in locked shelves.
Be the person who's more like me
Coz' the show must go on , you see ?
Do not show yourself wrecked ,
Do not let go off your facade,
Coz' No one loves a person ,
A person unapologetically naked.
