[ When I Pick-Up My Toys & Go Inside ]
[ My Head ]
[ I’m Not Going In There To Hide ]
[ Because I’ve Felt That My Heart Is Dead ]

[ I’ve Gone Inside To Protect Myself From Future Hurt ]
[ That’s Why There’s Nothing Living ]
[ Under My Shirt ]

[ Oh Sure My Body Is Alive ]
[ But My Trust In Others Has Taken A Dive ]

[ It’s Not That I Trust Nobody ]
[ It’s That I Find It Hard To Trust Anybody ]

[ This Apprehension & Distrust Has Been Earned ]
[ From The Many Times That I’ve Been Burned ]

[ Does Everyone Trust Anyone In Their Life? ]
[ Should I Only Trust My Faithful Wife? ]

[ Are There Any Friends Inside This Small Circle Of Mine ]
[ There’s A Few ]
[ Alot Less Than Nine ]
[ But A Couple More Than Two ]

[ One Friend From High School Is My Best ]
[ One Is The Guy Who Trained Me @ Hillcrest ]

[ That Man’s Name Is Nick ]
[ He’s Stood By Me ]
[ Even Through The Tough Years When I Was Sick ]
[ He Never Could Be ]
[ Like ]
[ One Of Those Dicks ]

[ Who Turned Their Backs When I Needed Friends The Most ]
[ One Minute They Were There ]
[ & The Next Minute The Friendship Is As Good As Burnt Toast ]
[ It Seems Like It Wasn’t A Far Reach ]
[ For Them To Turn Into A Ghost ]

[ I Guess They Found My Problems Too Tough To Swallow ]
[ It Proves What I Thought ]
[ Their Miniscule Past Efforts Were Hollow ]

[ They Should Remember The Moral Of The Golden Rule ]
[ (DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WANT THEM TO DO UNTO YOU) ]

[ To Them, It Was A Friendship That Wasn’t Hard ]
[ To Turn Their Backs & Discard ]

[ It Was Easy ]
[ For Them To Act Slimy & Sleazy ]

[ Were They Upfront & Brash ]
[ When They Threw My Name Into The Trash ]

[ I Know That Is Not Why They Did What They Did ]
[ When There Was A Little Controversy ]
[ That’s When They Ran & Hid ]

[ But Nick Has Always Been Honest, Loyal & Upfront ]
[ He Never Sugarcoated Things ]
[ & Bordered On Blunt ]

[ That Is What I Like & Need ]
[ I Like To Grow Honesty After Planting The Seeds ]
[ Nobody Tries To Grow Thorns & Weeds ]

[ I Also Start Questioning My Judgement In The Character
Of Others That Want To Get Close ]
[ As For Backstabbing People ]
[ The Staff @ Hillcrest Gave Me A Huge Dose ]
