Caution: brutal language
My heart no longer resides
On my sleeve
You must dig deeper
And not leave
Unlike the past,
Where I'm told I was truthful
Especially to myself
I had a mouthful
I was a real bitch
I still am
But I've learned well
And how to give a damn
No one knew
Or was aware
How I was deprived
Of love and care
They say I wore my heart
Loud and proud
As if I had a reason
To shine through the cloud
It's all much different now
I've locked emotions away
Soon my plastered smile was invented
And used every day
Life was clear
But now remains in a haze
Since my heart is stowed away
Deep in this maze
Try as you may
I wish you luck
With my heart buried
You'll have to dig in the muck
