You wear your skin convincingly
As if it’s where you want to be
But I can see, oh, I can see
And nothing here is fooling me
You wear your smile so finely peeled
As if it’s how you really feel
But I can see, oh, I can see
And nothing here is fooling me
You wear that dress so confident
As to impress with elegance
But I can see uncertainty
And nothing here is fooling me
You wear your Jewelry like a charm
As if it keeps you safe and warm
But I can see you’re disbelief
And nothing here is fooling me
I don’t intend to condescend
As if I don’t know how you feel
I can see, oh, I can see
Because you look a lot like me
I wear my heart out on my sleeve
As if that’s where it’s meant to be
And we can leave, oh, we can leave
Because none of them are fooling me
I love love love this and the idea you’ve written here. It’s, for me at least, a scary thing to be so vulnerable and let anybody in close to you that can see past that facade. But if it’s the right person there is a strange level of comfort it brings, and to have that one soul that knows yours through the walls and doors of your heart can be the most wonderful thing a person can experience.
🙂 thank you ma’am. Yes, it is a difficult thing to feel like you must play a game to live up to what someone else expects of you. Thank you for the kind words
And as always, thank you for sharing your heart. I especially enjoyed this one. 🙂
