From The Inside - 5. Keeping Self

Keeping Self

 

Listening to your instincts as they shout

Telling you to be alert and aware of others

Looking for the signs of reckless contempt

Vigilantly keeping up the necessary defenses

Guiding others beliefs about who you are

Keeping them far enough away to be blind

Not wanting to keep yourself hidden forever

Just trying to avoid pain and suffering
