"Keep Your Composure"

Wipe your tears--
Keep your composure.
Don't show weakness--
Indecent exposure.

Harden your heart---
Your weakness is kindness.
Strengthen your soul--
This world will leave you heartless.

Keep your composure--
Don't let them get you down.
Put a fake smile on--
Don't let them see you frown.

Keep your composure--
Don't let them see you cry.
We live in a cruel world--
Remember an eye for an eye?

So, please protect your heart--
On every occasion.
I've lost my heart--
Way too many abrasions.

"Don't Look For Me (I'm No Longer Around)"

Don't look for me--
I'm no longer there.
I've lost my way--
And I don't even care.

Don't ask me no questions--
I won't give a reply.
I have nothing to say--
And that's my honest reply.

I'm sick of it all--
I'm no longer caring.
My personal info.--
I'm no longer sharing.

I've put my walls up--
I'm no longer bringing them down.
I've harden my heart up--
I'm no longer around.
