What everyone sees

Weak, empty, miserable

That's what everyone sees

If only they just took the time

To see that isn't me.....

 

 

 

Judgements abound disquiet my voice

If only they knew this isn't my choice

Everyone's appraisals overwhelm my senses

At the ready to prepare my defenses

Combative and ill-tempered is my demeanor

Making everything all the bit keener

So much stirring underneath the exterior,

But you can't see it because you feel superior
