Here I

Am so predictable

Even though you have no clue who I truly am

And I’ve come to accept you don’t care

Because you never really took the time to get to know me.

Because you see, I’m not an open book; I’m a closed-off and guarded one.

And sometimes, I want to be more open, but people show me they’re not worth it right when I’m ready to open up.

So here I am, closed off, and only a few are lucky enough to know me, honestly.

And this year, I’ve accepted that number maybe a little but I’m okay with my supporters.

As they want to know me, and I do try to be open.

But when people have made you question what a true friendship is.

It’s hard sometimes to accept and understand not everyone is the same.

But I also know I live my life my way, and I know it’s not normal, but it’s sane and fun for me.
