Who Are You
In todays' society people aren't always who they seem to be
Hiding beneath their true self a different identity
To protect oneself from societies' potential harm
Portraying to be someone else so as not to raise alarm
People perceive me to be uneducated, cold-hearted and rough
In order to achieve this I have to act tough
I don't enjoy being that way
I find it hard for me to portray
I'm completely the opposite to what people see
No one suspects how different I can be
Educated, caring and really quite soft
Helpful to all after being ripped off
Still I keep helping where I can
That's just me it's who I am.
