People Only See What I Let Them See

People Only See What I Let Them See

A Poem by Mbali
"

Be careful not to add another line inside out, this girl need peace and smile will concur it all.

"
Outside lives a girl with a smile that will brighten up the room,
yet inside hides a girl with a frown full of despair.

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

Outside lives a girl with a beautiful laugh that's contagious,
yet inside hides a girl screaming her lungs out in unwanted anger.

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

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

Outside lives a girl full of life, 
yet inside hides a girl full of pain, wanting to die.

Outside lives a girl with perfect image,
yet inside hides a girl with regrets and mistakes.

Outside lives a girl of innocence,
yet inside hides a girl with tremendous gilt.

Outside lives a girl with goals and aspirations,
yet inside hides a girl lost in confusion.

What you see in the outside is her personal disguise,
what hides underneath you cant even begin to imagine
