Be careful

Be careful. Because not everyone out here is looking out for you

Every step you take is a trip you’ve missed

Every smile that is meant for you is just another hateful prayer that did not make the cut

Be careful. Because not all the people that surround you love you

Being in your presence doesn’t mean they are in it for your good

Be careful, the most pain can only be inflicted from love

Be careful,

All the hurt in the world is not meant for you

Pain only is if you allow it

Be careful. Because your approach to life shapes it

If you give of yourself you might not receive the same back

But your joy from doing what makes you happy

Will be there for you when all the mist is clear

And the angels you thought you had reveal the demons that accompanied you
