Sometimes,
when I can't wear a mask of indifference,
you'll see and uninvited tear.
It spills out like a stream
on a dark brown mountain.
That is when my heart opens
and I show a needle of my real emotions.
But I won't unlock my chest full of sentiment.
It's such a precious jewel to share.
It may scar your soul
or paint a beautiful picture,
but there is no telling,
how the contents
may affect you.
