He who loves me
Will never know me
But those who know me
Will never love me

Those who comfort me
Will never be close to me
But those who are close
Will never comfort me

Those who wish to break my outer shell
Do not know what I feel
And those who know how I feel
Will never try to break this shell

Those who worship me
Do not know my worse side
But those who know my worse side
Will never even praise me

Those who think I am beautiful
Don't see my cracks
But the ones who can see those cracks
Will never think I am beautiful

Those who believe I am smart
Don't know of my blatant ignorance
But those of whom that do,
Will never see me as intelligent

Both types of people
Those who see only good,
And those who see only bad,
Can never actually grasp me

There is no one
In this reality
That sees my good and my bad
Not even myself
