Your smile helps to stall 
my demons at bay; it sprinkles my heart with a kind of joy which dwindles the pain.

Even though I tell you to leave, that's not the truth, but it's what I have been conditioned to say,
but inside I hope you'll remain. 

I'm not familiar with love,
so please give me some time to adjust, 
and If I don't, just start over with me again. 

I know I'm an adult, 20+; but in me still lies a beast that needs to be tamed. 

You're probably tired of my running away every time my demons come drumming on my ears, 
but I  only shut you out due to reasons of fear.

I'm still wrestling with trust issues, 
which explains why I guard my heart so heavily from anybody trying to make fissures. 

Still feeling lost and need a father,
and still wishing to be understood by my mother. 

The guys only hang with me to get a good start, 
and the girls often drop by because I'm smart,
but as soon as everyone is done with me, I go flying through the sky like twisted and sick dart.
