Inside Out

Outside perspectives
do not reflect the inside
when it wabbles and hurts
it is weaken by pain

When we chat there aren't always
smiles and laughter
seriousness doesn't mean:
uncaring, aloof, soulless, unloving,
unthinking, unaware, insensitive,
inhuman, apathetic, anger, unfriendly,
or any negative traits as such
but feelings are being held inside
and the outsider interprets the facial signs
as unemotional and uncaring

If a person replies with a straight face
through untrue accusations
it doesn't mean there are ulterior motives
or that one doesn't acknowledge
facts are what matter and none were
presented

People except laughter or tears
or some type of emotional outburst
to bad news or serious incidents
not all react the same,
crossed arms doesn't mean anything,
even if people think
it means closeness

If the speakers thinks the listener is angry
without any evidence or reason
they already made their mind about the listener
even when the listener says they are not angry
the speakers thinks they know, but they don't

Outside perspectives
do not reflect the inside
when it wabbles and hurts
it is weaken by pain
it bleeds, it really hurts
but life goes on

No person can know another
inside out, ever
only those who really try
and are interested in knowing the other
will truly know them inside out
But never pretend you know
the other person, the way you think
you know

Outside perspectives
do not reflect the inside
when it wabbles and hurts
it is weaken by pain
it bleeds, it really hurts
but life goes on
