Deceiving Sun
Even the sun itself can be quite deceiving
Upon viewing it's powerful rays beaming warmth is generally what you'd expect to be receiving
More often than not things aren't quite as they appear
Same goes for taking a gander at yourself in a mirror
Visions distorted but the mirrors not broken
Sometimes a soft gentle whisper can ring louder then other words spoken
Beautiful smiles flashed are sometimes a tedious task
Unseen is the pain accompanied hidden behind the mask
Never judge a book by it's cover
Read between the lines and the truth you seek within, a whole new realm of possibilities you'll soon discover
Reality can often look pretty but is sometimes flat out cold
There's always a couple sides to every story to unfold
What you see isn't always what you get
Ponder this before stumbling upon words you'll regret
The sun sometimes struggles to shine through life's elements and be felt just as we do
Although perceived as a blistering bright orb it has several sides too
