The Real You
October 5, 2014
As I stare into the depths of your eyes,
I see the real you,
Not your fake smiles,
Or your decpetive laughs;
No, I see the person behind the facade
I see the desparation to fit in,
Your cloaked anger
And your crushed soul,
I see the loneliness and the masked fear
I see what no one else does,
I see the real you
