Prompt: Get over mind-reading in the form of a pantoum
Why would you want to see into the minds of others?
Don't you know that even our own thoughts can lie?
It's scary enough to live inside your own mind
Imagine how strange it would be to see inside another's.
Don't you know that even our own thoughts can lie?
There are so many things best left unknown
They say ignorance is bliss for a reason
Better to leave your thoughts as your own
There are so many things best left unknown
Forgotten little kernels of pasts your not meant to hear
Wanting to know all is a great way of getting hurt
Best to never pick this power up
Forgotten little kernels of pasts your not meant to hear
Think of all you've done that you fear
What would it do to you to have it all aired out?
You wouldn't like that.. oh no you wouldn't like that at all
Think of all you've done that you fear
Secrets and guilty pleasures behind closed doors
Things the world would laugh at you for
Better to keep it safe, better to have no one know it at all
Secrets and guilty pleasure behind closed doors
We all have them it's true
But we all like to pretend we're the better ones no matter what
Better to pretend we have no flaws
We all have them it's true
So don't open up this can of worms
Don't let the need to know poison you
The world doesn't need a mindreader
So don't open up this can of worms
It's just wrong
Forget about it
It's just so wrong
