about some of us Not all of us just the ones that have been emotionally hurt by someone we trusted or loved at least that is how I was able to it Dont get me wrong Im not say this is about the Open Door crowd I m saying this is about all people in general Im also not say ing that these feelings will last forever and that we will always have walls built up around our souls So please dont consider me a cold hearted beast Rebels Without a Cause We are rebels without a cause You should best keep your distance as we need no assistance People may wonder why feelings are not shared Why pain is not shown emotions not known They dont understand why we run from our problems Why forever we hide and hurt is denied We strive to rebel against those that we love hurt them first before we get it worse We want to live on the brink of disaster so close to danger forever a stranger We are rebels without a cause We suggest at a distance you re main as we use only the weapon of pain Anon Mayor Miller
