Psyche may be your major
But don't try to figure me out
You could search my brain
And never know what I'm about

You can sit there and talk
Until your face turns blue
It doesn't matter what you say
Nothing will get through

I am just your guinea pig
Let's not play pretend
You'll try to break down my barrier
Then whisper, "Let's be friends"

All my secrets will have been divulged
My wounds will be exposed
I know all about these things
That's the way love goes

What do you mean
Why do I act this way?
You're the first one to question me
Everyone else thinks I'm okay

Sure, I have some friends
A best friend? Well, no
I guess that people try
But I can't let them get too close

Why? Because I'm not stupid
I won't get hurt again
Each time I try to love
I always lose a "friend"

So go ahead and try to read me
Your conclusion will be this:
I've been wronged in life
And that's just the way it is

So, let's not play any games
Let me know if you're planning to stick around
I will not be played for a fool
I don't want to be let down

Is it too much to ask
For you to promise me
That you will be my friend
Throughout eternity?

If my expectations are too high
Or your intentions are too low
Don't even try to be my friend
Just turn around and go

I really thought this was cool. I can relate in many aspects.

People as a whole suck. They really do. But what you have to remember is that there are a few out there that actually make life worth living.
Your piece is really heartfelt and I hope things look up for you soon.

Well done here. You told that person off.....nicely done.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I REALLY like this!  You really told this person how it is.  I'm guessing you're talking to a therapist?  That's the impression I got, but then again, I may be wrong.  If that's to a therapist I know EXACTLY what you're saying.  I couldn't have said it better myself.  Very nicely written.. the content is excellent, and the rhyme and flow is right on.  Very well done.
