My Life In Print
People really don't understand why I stay alone.
Nobody really knows why I am quiet.
People just feel I am quiet and boring.
Many feel I am a snub and a hypocrite.
Believe me, nobody really knows anything about me.
I force smiles alot of time hiding that demon called pain
People judge me wrongly but it takes only those who are ME to understand.
I don't just stay quiet.
I don't just stay away from people.
I don't just ignore some people
I don't just keep away from some places.
But there is a reason why.
I fear trouble even if I jokingly love vawulence.
I avoid hurt even when I know I can't dodge it forever.
I don't just stay quiet, I stay quiet not to get into trouble.
I stay away from you because I don't want to hurt you.
I snub you because I am just tired of telling you a particular thing multiple times.
I avoid some places to avoid bad acquaintance and influence.
Do you know why I don't get close to you?
is because you don't have my kind of energy.
I am just scared you will get my edge blunt.
Things I know I can't get, I better not go for it.
Life I know I can't live, I better not want to start it.
Friends I know I can't maintain, I better not keep them.
Before you judge me please try to know the reason for my action.
If I ask you to STOP please just stop. Don't wait for me to explode.
There is a reason for everything I do.
I know CHANGE is CONSTANT.
