Whole my life I've witnessed
How people were dismissive
Towards my kindness, care and love,
So I have turned
Into the one whose heart is cold.
I've seen the pattern's been repeated,
No matter who it was: a parent or a friend
So if I'm cold or distant
Don't wonder why, again
They didn't value warmth or listen,
And I have burnt that side of me.
So if I'm cold or distant
Just let me be
