He's a toughie
but only on the outside.
In truth, that hardened exterior
is just a facade and it will fade
just as quickly as a ballon
pricked by a needle.
While many people around him
who don't know him too well
may believe that he's as hard as a rock,
He has taken much time and care
to build op that tough image.
Hidden beneath,
however,
is a confused,
angry character who might fall apart at any minute.
