About Someone

Closed Heart

Your closed mind, a shadow on your face,
A secret held, in every place.
In your ignorance, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.

About Someone

Intolerant

Your closed mind, a burden you bear,
A shadow that follows, everywhere.
In your eyes, I see the pain,
A heart that's lost, in the rain.

About Someone

Narrow

Your closed mind, a constant plight,
A shadow that haunts, day and night.
In your ignorance, I see the cost,
A heart that's lost, forever lost.

About Someone

Closed Path

Your closed mind, a narrow lane,
In your thoughts, a constant strain.
Every idea, a blocked gate,
In your presence, we feel the weight.
Your narrow view, a darkened star,
In your heart, we wander far.
Thank you for the lessons taught,
In your closed mind, understanding's sought.
With your view, I see the light,
In your closed mind, clear insight.

05

About Someone

Restricted View

Your closed mind, a shadowed sight,
In your thoughts, no insight.
Every idea, a wall so high,
In your presence, creativity dies.
Your restriction, a guiding light,
In your heart, we find our fight.
Thank you for the lessons learned,
In your closed mind, growth is earned.

06

About Someone

Narrow Path

In the narrowness of your gaze,
Lies a world, confined in haze.
Each thought you hold, each dream denied,
Reflects a heart, in shadows confined.
Your closed mind, a limited light,
Turns brightness into night.
With every word, every cheer,
You show a heart, sincere.
In your narrowness, life does sing,
A melody of everything.
Forever closed, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
