Inside and Out
On the outside, I look as if I am a monster ready to attack any and everybody in sight, I look as if at any moment if you say the wrong thing I could snap.
But on the inside, on the inside I am like honey-sweet and forever flowing spreading my love to anyone who comes close enough to get to know me my knowledge filling the minds of the unknowing helping them spread their wings and fly into a better future being to them as a guardian angel being a shoulder to cry on using my wings to protect them from the pain of today holding in my pain in exchange for others happiness making light appear from a dark and empty soul
yes I know pleasing people is not good for the soul so I'm told maybe it’s creating the hole that I so desperately want to fill but to make people happy when I cannot be is what allows me to breathe and let go of a piece of the pain that traps me
wishing to be free I become a black hole absorbing the pain and sorrow of the people I come across even when they cross me I am loyal to a fault loving unconditionally even when I’m hated
