No questions asked.

I was weak,
and undecided,
you abused of,
the bright minded.

I was bribed into everything,
Pushed against my belief,
into actions which overall,
contradicted my moral.

And in a gust of wind,
My life had cleared.
I no longer feared,
the open-ended remark.

I certainly knew
No was the answer.
To all those inquiries,
which made me tremble.

But the courage it took,
to build up inside,
and reject all outside,
was phenomenal in my mind.

I may have gained,
a selfish defense,
which although rude,
I would not call crude.

Every man for himself,
And no man will get scammed.
Grow some independence,
And live by your own supplies.

I live by my own,
and yet love to help out,
I preach a theory,
seemingly contradicted in practice.

But within me,
lies a strong philosophy,
I can help out,
If I expect nothing in return.

I'd love to recieve help,
If it wasn't conditional,
Because I have not asked,
For your assistance, in any task.

My lesson is strong,
Recieve help when given,
and give help when you can,
But every man remains on his own,
regardless of his past.

So hold strong to your present,
and seek your independence,
With one thing in mind,
It comes with no questions asked.

A small quote I came up with as I was going to bed last night, felt it was worth sharing: Don't buy depreciating assets unless they are a necessity and if so, buy them depreciated.

The light came through, Your peaceful smile, in truth. The surreal was still at bay But I did not know what my words would convey. I heard the silence pedal, I spent the days winning medals Hoping to protect my heart By covering it with metal. I'm trying to explain these walls, The shields and simple fears, I hope they don't reflect you away, But I do not know if you can stay. I buried myself deep within Behind this thick armor My wounds had frozen As I lay there, I burned the roses. A little heat was a sweet reminder Of my burnt past The loving pleasure and pain I ran from what would always remain. So when I glanced at you in disbelief, It was hard to mutter past my walls, But you saw past them with your own, By admitting what I had never known. The vulnerabilities we touch Let us know we are loved They acknowledge our shame And let us play our game With a silly smile, I finally got the courage I finally had the nerve, To yell past my wall...
