Shut up and Listen

Trying to Understand

Some things don't make sense in life,

And no one ever tries

To unravel the world of clever deception

Or unmask all the lies. 

Honesty can sometimes kill

'Cause then you're left exposed,

Like the little girl misunderstood

That wishes it was closed. 

But as much as she tried to feel contempt,

It always bothered her.

No matter what rang through her ears,

She never could be sure. 

No one could blame her thoughts on it

Since she was so confused

She'd laugh and cry and punch her pillow,

Or smile and feel amused. 

Was it normal? She didn't know-

Feels too intimidated to ask.

She's afraid to mess it up 

Therefore she wears a mask. 

Not a lot makes sense in the world

But some things seem for sure. 

Nothing can explain to people

The feelings within her.
