Who We Are

We may feign credence
Where there is none,
We may smile warmly
Under the sun;
But that which we do
When no one is near,
Is what tells the truth
About who we are.

We may seem caring
When all eyes observe,
We may act humbly
Less than we deserve;
But that which we do
When no one rewards,
Is what tells the truth
About who we are.
