Fooled

[mσση ωοℓբ☾]

Don't be fooled by me,
Don't be fooled by the mask I wear.
Fr I wear a thousand masds and none of them is me.
I give the impression that I am secure.
Confidence is my name and coolness is my game.
But don't believe me.
Beneath lies the real me.
In confusion, fear and aloness.
But I don't tell you this because I'm afraid to.
I am afraid that you'll think less of me,
That you'll laugh at me.
I'm afraid that deep down
I'm nothing and I'm no good.
Yet only you can call me into aliveness,
Each time you're kind encouragin.
Each time you try to understand...
... Because you care.
Who am I? You may wonder.
I am someone you know very well.

I am every man, woman and child you met.
