Some people seem to hide their true selves away, like in a clenched fist, while putting an alt ego forward instead, like in a waving right hand. Especially with the personas on the internet; Facebook, instagram and snapchat. people are not always who they say they are.
She loves to shake her right hand about,
Hiding her left in a fist,
Hiding her real self away in a clench,
While waving her false from her wrist,
You see, she wants us to think she’s the happiest girl,
Full of fun and a life with a kiss,
That she has the best things and does the most stuff,
That she is the happiest Miss,
But, clenched tight away, hidden in her left,
Is her reality she hides from us all,
The reality of herself not able to cope,
In her mind she feels boring and small,
So, I open her hand and look into her eyes and say,
“Your YOU is a perfect for me,
I love you for you, not the pretend in a dress,
I love when you’re honest and free”.
