The Man Outside

Outside I laugh Inside I cry Outside is truth Inside I lie Outside is happy Inside is sad Outside I'm calm Inside I'm mad Am I really the man outside? Or is it in me the real man hides? Outside is sunshine Inside is gloom Outside is hope Inside is doom Outside I'm brave Inside I fear Outside is laughter Inside a tear Am I really the man outside? Or is it in me the real man hides?

You choose your state. I do too. We cannot be true to others if we do not know who we are. Feelings might change during your day and mine... Give yourself space to be. Sometimes there are times as you say, we can't figure stuff out. I wish you wholeness and happiness. Panagiota
