MAKING UP YOUR OWN WORDS

Seek sympathy and you will be asked for it,
Offer trust and it will be taken away,
Build a small fire and sit close to it,
Let not insincerity lead you astray.
They will not share your values nor pain,
The self-righteous of bigoted conceit,
For they serve only the pursuit of self-gain,
As they attempt to baffle you with their deceit.
The less you reveal to your friends, the less
They can hurt you and do you wrong.
They being yours but you not being theirs,
They will never let you belong.
No way back and nowhere to go…
Making up your own words to the song.
