The door is locked—you can’t get in

No matter how hard you try

Kicking at the door won’t do any good

Nor will using a crowbar to pry.

“Well how,” you ask, “can I get in?”

The answer is actually a mite strange

You gain access by NOT trying or prying—

I know, that makes me sound quite deranged.

But see, the key to unlocking my door

Is to not use manipulation or force

You have to gain my trust before I open to you

You can’t ever push or coerce.

Sometimes it’s a long process, I know

It can take quite a long while

But I promise that once you gain access to my innermost self

It will all become worth your while.
