Beware of those who call out to you in a whisper, they might be far, they might be near, they might just be the one sitting next to you my dear;
who tell you the sweetest of words and make promises to give you the world
They hold your hand gently and speak of a better place
Beware of them who you see with good intention
Who walk with many arms and legs and suddenly you’ve fallen into their web
Webs built of lies and deceit
Little child I warn you now beware
When you see them they might be big, they might be small, they might be kindest of them all
But when they take off that mask what’s left is a dragon who stares at you challengingly ready to eat you whole
Their words make your face turn sour after they’ve drawn you in
No more deceit is needed when they’ve got you pinned
You are now chained by them one wanting to go but another longs to stay
Like a boxer they have you in a choke hold but in this ring only they can win
They might play with you for a while give you all your dreams and more
Fill your sparkly eyes with something called hope
Give you treasures untold
But I tell you this once again for I have once lost one to them
Stay where your heart is for that world is fading and soon you’ll realize it was never there to begin with
Beware child
