People think I'm friendly

All because I smile

I joke and laugh and talk with them

Sit and visit for awhile.

People think I'm honest

Because I tell the truth

But the truth is not so simple

If you haven't any proof.

People think I'm loving

They think that it is me

In my caring, in my kindness

In my generosity.

But they would gasp in horror

If they could only see

What is really on the inside

And what is really me.

I don't like human nature

I think humans are just mean

I would rather be a hermit

Stay away, where I am free.

I want to find a place

Where I am free to feel

I want to run away and hide

This me is not what's real.
