Its so easy to believe someone when they tell you exactly what you want to hear...

until their actions don't show it and you end up hurting. You even feel stupid for having believed it in the first place.

Everyone sees who I appear to be But only a few know the real me You only see what I choose to show.

Isn't that always the case? Why do we hide ourselves from other people. Why do we hide part of who we are and what makes us who we are from people. Why do we build walls? Is it to keep people out or is it to see who actually cares enough to break them down? Maybe it's t protect ourselves from getting hurt.. for now? bothings permanent, I think eventually we all get hurt. So why do we do it? Is it cos it's easier? but what happens in the long run? Don't we fee that the thing we try to avoid will still happen? I guess it's just easier to try and hide behind to prevent getting hurt than giving someone outright the ability to hurt us, huh.

sometimes it's easier to hide behind smiles.

but subconsciously, we all wonder if anyone will notice what's behind this smile
