Illuminating the night
with thoughts of light.
Blind to everything that should be seen
you'll never become what I have been.
You wrap your pain with a pretty bow,
vowing never to have hurt in tow.
Hiding from the truth in life,
never participating in another's strife.
Why is all cozy and bright?
Do you tuck yourself away from fright?
Can you hide from hurt and pain?
or will you see the dark again?

It can truly be one the most frustrating things to watch a loved one struggle needlessly in this manner. You just want to shake them until they see reason.
"You wrap your pain with a pretty bow,
vowing never to have hurt in tow."
