Outside lives a boy with a smile that will brighten up the room,
yet inside hides a bit with a frown full of despair.
Outside lives a boy with eyes of joy that brings you to ease,
yet inside hides a boy shedding tears of sadness.
Outside lives a boy with a charming laugh that's contagious,
yet inside hides a boy screaming his lungs out in unwanted anger.
Outside lives a boy with the personality everyone envies,
yet inside hides a boy full of insecurities and shame.
Outside lives a boy who is fearless and tough,
yet inside hides a weak boy who lives in fear.
Outside lives a boy full of life,
yet inside hides a boy full of pain, wanting to die.
Outside lives a boy with a perfect image,
yet inside hides a boy with regrets and mistakes.
Outside lives a boy of innocence,
yet inside hides a boy with tremendous guilt.
Outside lives a boy with goals and aspirations,
yet inside lives a boy lost in confusion.
What you see on the outside is my personal disguise,
What hides underneath you can't even begin to imagine.
