Analysis of Don't try



Don't try to hide,
Because my smell is of the brimstone.
I have known the pleasures from within
And I have seen the unseen.

Don't try to hide,
Because my smell is of the incense, too.
I have known the pains from within
And I have become an unseen.

So, don't!
Don't try to hide
The unseen from unseen.
