If a child would come to me,
And ask me for advice,
I would tell them to always play stupid,
To always play dumb,
Not to let anyone near them
Especially those related by blood.

To bottle up everything inside,
And to stay quiet at all times.
I will tell them,
To never develop emotions,
That apathy is our greatest friend.

And when they look at me,
With sadness in their eyes,
I would smile and try to cheer them up.

I would tell them,
That there is only one thing worth smiling for,
One thing in the whole wide world.

And when they ask me what it is
I would say to them,

I don't know.
