Who's Looking Out For Me..
Looking in from the outside
Only those that can see
Not who I portray
But see the real me..
Looking in from the outside
A beam constantly
Projected upon my face,
Head held high
Strolling around
with style and grace...
Skimming over the surface
And what will you see
I'm Just playing a character,
Not being the man
Who I so want to be...
An actor..
Acting out a very poor written play
With the same shit happeneing
Day after day...
That's me...
Unless you can see
Unless you look deeper and find the real me..
But why would you want to..
Just wave at the happy guy greeting you at the door
Having a laugh as we crunch doing abs on the floor..
Let me praise you
And make you feel so fucking great,
Like I've known you for years,
Like friends
Best mates..
But maybe next time
Look deeper within
Fuck the surface
Deep down
Through the skin
Maybe people aren't all that they seem
Maybe there fighting
To escape a bad dream.
Only those that can see
Not who I portray
But see the real me..
Looking in from the outside
A beam constantly
Projected upon my face,
Head held high
Strolling around
with style and grace...
Skimming over the surface
And what will you see
I'm Just playing a character,
Not being the man
Who I so want to be...
An actor..
Acting out a very poor written play
With the same shit happeneing

Unless you look deeper and find the real me..

Having a laugh as we crunch doing abs on the floor..
Let me praise you
And make you feel so fucking great,
Like I've known you for years,

Look deeper within
Fuck the surface

Maybe people aren't all that they seem
Maybe there fighting
To escape a bad dream.

People are like apples. People see the skin sometimes shiny and sometimes bruised. Only picking the shiny apples and overlooking the bruised. However, until you eat through the meat of some ones soul you will never get to the core of a persons being to know that the shiny apples are the most bruised and the bruised apples goes through the bumps and scrapes to end up shiny where it counts most and that's the HEART. Don't let the mask become the bruises just have faith that the You that will emerge once the bruises are healed is a LOVING YOU and surround yourself with those that see the scares and except those scares because it made you into a BEAUTIFUL PERSON OUTSIDE IN.

That's amazing thank you so much.
We often don't look deep enough to see the hurt and pain someone's suffering just because there walking around with a smile on their face.
Thank you :)
