"Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain, but you can't make a rainbow without a little rain."


As I stare into the depths of your eyes,

I see the real you,

Not your fake smiles,

Or your decpetive laughs;

No, I see the person behind the facade

 

I see the desparation to fit in,

Your cloaked anger

And your crushed soul,

I see the loneliness and the masked fear

 

I see what no one else does,

I see the real you

This is a piece about trying to fit in in high school. This is about covering up emotions and hiding your true self.
