Guarded

Guarded
By: Tyler Ross

Take a look in my eyes. Don’t like what you see. That’s fine because you can’t get to me so easily. I have very strict morals and respect for myself to not run around recklessly. I’d rather wait it out on the shelf. I’ll remain grounded and play it smart. You’ve got to earn my trust with truth from the start. No playing games and leading me on. I take no interest in those who pressure me along. I’m guarded can’t you see. A free spirit just me being me. What you get is what you’ll accept. Patience is key for the first step. I believe in a balance. I believe in an honest effort. You can take it or leave it. But I’ll leave it, just protecting myself. If you feel I owe you. You’ve got me all wrong. Intentions are important and if I can’t trust you then move along. I’ve grown up with firm values. I plan to sustain. I don’t expect you to be one in the same. Show your consideration. Be aware I’m not like everyone else. This is not a game. This is not a game. You can abuse my name. You can try breaking me down. But I am a rock and always guarded. The same Sheriff remains in town. I’m guarded can’t you see. A free spirit just me being me. What you get is what you’ll accept. Patience is key for the first step.
