'veneer'
In the dark I see you clearly
Images your hardly
Ever share with the world
Why be gentle in the dark
When others think you are hardened
That your emotions
Were extricated at birth
Two complete opposites
Gentle versus rough
Stone faced
With signs that if you smile
In the daylight
Your face might crack
I see you smile all the time
Behind closed doors
Behind the four walls
Almost like you are afraid
The world might see
The gem I have uncovered
It is a joy to see you laugh
To hear that giggle
I reckon it is about time
You show the world the gentle side of you
