About Someone
Jaded Heart
In every smile, a hidden snare,
Cynic's gaze, doubting care.

You see the world, harsh and mean.
Through your doubt, truths unfold,
In your skepticism, the world is cold.

Bitter Mind
Your thoughts, a darkened well,
Cynic's view, under a spell.

You find a flaw, refuse to see.
Through your scorn, clarity's blurred,
In your disdain, voices unheard.

In your doubt, hope deprives.

Cynic’s Shade
In the shadows of your gaze,
Lies a doubt that does amaze.
Each word you speak, each thought you share,
Turns my heart to a place rare.
Your skepticism, a guiding light,
Turns the darkest night bright.
With every doubt, every cheer,
You make the truth clear.
Your caution, a gentle wave,
In your presence, I am brave.
In your doubt, I find my way,
To discern the night from day.
Forever questioning, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
