Sentimental Fool

Every wrinkle on my face is a path on which I've travelled; whether proud or in disgrace, whether whole or heart unravelled. Every line upon my eye is a lesson I have learned. I have laughed and I have cried, I've been numb, and I have burned. All the tears I have shed.... Well, I've reaped what I have sown; and the sordid life I've led has taught me what I've known. Every blemish on my skin is a mark upon my life. There are more scars deep within, sad remains of hurt and strife. On the outside I might seem hard and callous, cold and cruel; but the 'Inner Me' I'll deem is a sentimental fool.
