Minor Chords

See only the surface
I beg you
Because what I keep
Hidden
Is outside your view
For a very good reason.
For it's in the quiet
Places that
I long to never
Look
Because it's
Easier.
I desire -
As we all do -
To show my best
Self
And to leave the rest
To your imagination.
So, see what I'm hiding?
I'd rather you didn't.
Though I've not so many
Secrets
To keep quiet
I'd prefer it.
Because there are
Scars inside
And out -
And I'd rather
You went without
Knowing their history.
I'll show what I like,
I'll share with discretion
But I'll never mention
Just what's hiding
Beneath the surface.
