Between the Lines

Don't paint me like a doll in your mind
Don't expect me to smile if I'm not feeling fine
I won't change my ways just to please your view

Sphinxes are beautiful, but images are for those
Who can't feel the lines connecting heart and soul
And fail to read what the eyes try to construe

I've faced so many trials in my time
Filtered the people I keep in my life
Let go of things I once held dear
That used to mean the world to me

I wanted to be so many things
From a hero to some foolish dreams
Until one day, I learned the key
To challenge myself and grow freely

This is who I am
If you don't get it
Please stay away
From where I stand

This is who I am
Don't ask me questions
If you don't want answers
You won't understand
