What Lies Beneath
What lies beneath?
When we talk about love
What do we mean?
To simply more than just like something?
Or someone?
Or to be in love?
To want to protect that person from anything that can harm them?
What if that person isn’t truthful?
Hides what lies beneath
Can we ever say we truly love someone?
If we don’t know who they are?
If they want to conceal
A nasty side maybe
Would we not find out?
If we spent time with them?
Or maybe one day trigger a reaction
And find out the truth the hard way
Are you honest with yourself?
When you look in the mirror what do you see?
A stranger
An imposter
Or are you honest and just yourself?
Happy in your own skin
With a clear conscience
No worries about the truth
Because you are the truth
Be yourself
Be happy and free
Look in the mirror
Smile and say that’s me!
