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.
