Never explain yourself…

People will like you, people will dislike you …

People will frame you, and make you their own metaphor …

People will expand you, or try to make you smaller …

People will love you … And still be blind to who you are …

People will leave you wrinkles

But will never know how much of them there are in you…

…

Never explain yourself — if you mean love … People will interpret you their own way…

Never explain yourself — if you mean love…

One day your message will come through ….
