Put Your Guard Up
Keep your guard up and never let it down,
For in the presence of others you´ll look like a clown.
You need to learn that patience is best,
And that sometimes you can´t act like all
The rest.
Keep your guard up and never let it down,
Find a place quiet where there is not a sound.
Never let lies come between your friendship,
Or your gonna be the one who has to
End it.
There is truth to some of the lies I´ve told,
Although some were bought some were not sold.
Sometime my lies make me want to disappear
I wish someone would whisper truth into
My ears.
As days, months and years go by,
I let out a sigh but I do not cry.
Within me there is an endless amount of pain,
This pain makes me feel like i´m insane.

This poem stems from an emotional place inside of me that I did not know I had. Emotions used to not be my thing but now i think I should embrace them at least though my poetry. I´ve always wanted to be a writer but I thought I was too young to become one. Writing has been my pride and joy my light through the darkness and I´d do anything to share that light with other people.
