you could've asked and we'd have replied
we are having difficult times ahead
we are a bit too proud to ask for help
with every little thing
we are fine on our own,
or as best as we can be. We'll manage
all we need are our space
and a lot of time
you can never fully understand the little how's and why's
we are not sure we'd like to have you them understood
our little secrets
our struggles in our lives
we are keepers of secrets
of sadness unspoken and worries unshared
we are proud of who we are
we accept only certain kinds of help
we are sensitive to our sensitive selves
it just means we tend to discriminate
we'd have told you if you'd have asked
but to certain people we'd freely share
we can't say what's the difference between you and them
but we love you just as much
we are having difficulties we won't discuss
at least not to you, not this way
we speak our minds in being silent
and we spurn your help
to be true to ourselves if just another day.
