Surfaces portray characters
just as my favorite book does
To look past is to see depth
in water as black as night
Unattainable only through
lack of effort
Try harder
Work harder
Be harder
Are commands we hear
Day in
Day out
What if I can't
What if I have
Tried hard
Worked hard
Been hard
And each time I've been
Out done
Not strong enough
Broken
You can't see this in the surface
All you see is your strength
And I like it that way
Cause it means you
Don't see my weakness
