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
