You see a book and the outside is destroyed to the point of no return
because of the outside you didn't read the inside so nothing you learned
so now you are clueless on something because you misjudged
that's how it is now of days people see the outside so the inside is never loved
Now i ask what do you see when you see me
I'm light skinned long hair good looking and i stay in the streets
But you haven't looked hard enough to search within
Where there is pain,deceit, discomfort and sin
You look at me and say everything is okay
Not knowing the struggle i go through each and everyday
The never filled promises people made
With a heart that has been just stepped on and played
I smile and you say everything is fine
But you never cared to ask what was on my mind
What if i shut down with darkness (What then)?
No love no understanding just lost you would have prayed you looked within
