What Lies Beneath

What lies beneath? When we talk about love What do we mean? To simply more than just like something? Or someone? Or to be in love? To want to protect that person from anything that can harm them? What if that person isn’t truthful? Hides what lies beneath Can we ever say we truly love someone? If we don’t know who they are? If they want to conceal A nasty side maybe Would we not find out? If we spent time with them? Or maybe one day trigger a reaction And find out the truth the hard way Are you honest with yourself? When you look in the mirror what do you see? A stranger An imposter Or are you honest and just yourself? Happy in your own skin With a clear conscience No worries about the truth Because you are the truth Be yourself Be happy and free Look in the mirror Smile and say that’s me!
