Inside Out

Outside is a man with a smile that will brighten up the room,
yet inside hides a man with a frown full of despair.

Outside is a man with eyes of joy that brings you to ease,
yet inside hides a man shedding tears of sadness.

Outside is a man with a beautiful laugh that's contagious,
yet inside hides a man screaming his lungs out in unwanted anger.

Outside is a man with the personality everyone envies,
yet inside hides a man full of insecurities and shame.

Outside is a man who is fearless and tough,
yet inside hides a weak man who lives in fear.

Outside is a man full of life,
yet inside hides a man full of pain, wanting to die.

Outside is a man with a perfect image,
yet inside hides a man with regrets and mistakes.

Outside is a man of innocence,
yet inside hides a man with tremendous guilt.

Outside is a man with goals and aspirations,
yet inside is a man lost in confusion.

What you see on the outside is my personal disguise,
What hides underneath you can't even imagine.
