they look at you with cold eyes
hard-set mouth and eyebrows rise
venom drips from their tongue
very coarse for one so young
so much anger within their soul
the glowing red embers of burning coal
they won't show weakness they won't show pain
they won't stop till their enemy's slain
that is what they show the world
fists clenched and eyebrows furled
they hide behind a tough guy charade
so no one can see them afraid
but ones you see past the mask
you'll be shocked and left to ask
why they are so nice and kind
but keep it all close, confined
An old man smiles and points the arrow
"you don't know they're just a sparrow."

Sparrow
a girl who seems tough, angry and mean, but after you get to know her you realize she is the exact opposite. Often young-looking.
Yeah, she seems coarse, but that's just because she doesn't know you. She's really just a sparrow.
