People only know
what I allow them to see.
But really, underneath
there is so much more to me

by its cover
things aren’t always
what they seem to be.

What you conceal,
Will never heal.
Through the tear,
let the light in,
True happiness
starts from within

Don’t judge a book by its cover!
The facade can sometimes conceal
the unopened, torn,
tormented story
concealed within pages
of someone’s story,
that no one has bothered
to open and read.

Not a guaranteeÂ
of internal happiness,Â
Many a person tends to hide,Â
Their brokenness inside.Â

could be a broken heart

on the face but in theÂ
conscience of the mind

broken on the inside.

that you don’t knowÂ
how to mute.

I’m deep inside,Â

to scratch the surface

we can surround ourselvesÂ
with great happiness

Beneath the happy exterior,Â
lies a broken soulÂ
Once the facade breaks –Â
watch the turmoil unfoldÂ

under the pressure ofÂ
suppressed emotions
