There are those of us, afraid to show our true selves

So we go and conform like books on a shelf

We may look like the rest, but we don't have the same tales

We bind the outside to cover our stories with veils

Until someone opens us up, and reads our stories

And slowly but surely, relieves all our worries

But forcing it open, can damage it more

Leaving the pages to scatter on the floor

So be careful when reading, to read between the lines

Don't let others summarize they could be feeding you lies

Don't judge a book by its cover, old or in its youth

Because until a book's opened you won't know its truth
