Camouflage

I don't want you to learn too much 
About how you can hurt, how much and where 
So I am going to cry when my lips get burnt 
And complain about why you would give me tea so hot 
When you know I drink it tepid.

A total slay. Close to something I couldn't half as beautifully manage to say :)
