My eyes hide stories that no lips have enough words to tell;
So, when people came too close
I used to look away

My hands hide stories that no touch has enough skin to feel;
So, when people came to take my hand
I used to pull it back

My chest hides stories that nobody has enough heartbeats to hear;
So, when people came to hug me
I used to keep my distance

My stories were not ordinary;
So, when people came to listen
I used to stutter and push them away

My stories were no ordinary stories;
they used to keep me hostage
until you came and showed me the other side of me,
until you came and set me free.
