You don't understand me
You don't have a clue
You think you know what I am all about
But as a human and myself I am here to prove you WRONG!

The things I do are not me
The things I say are not
Who I am
Who I be
If you tried to look inside
You'd know the true me

But alas you stop on the outside
And try not to look at the window within
Because if you tried
I'm sure you'd have to die
If I proved you wrong
If I truthed your lie

Now I'm looking at the mirror
And I wonder what all you people see
For no matter how hard you look at the outside
You will never, ever, shake the blindness to really see me

Well done. I enjoyed this so much. The words spoke the truth about how I feel also.

The only beauty is in the soul. Have no fear, you are a masterpiece. I've glimpsed it between your lines.

Love your work,
Rock on,
