Behind The Cover
September 24, 2024
William M. McCurrach
We all believe in what we see,
But, are we really seeing the real you or me.
How many are hurt inside,
How many have too much pride,
To show the pain they feel,
How many of us go beyond the surface and tell others how we feel?
Yes we look happy, we smile, we talk, and interact,
We don’t tell all about ourselves,
That is a fact.
Like a book with a fancy cover,
We look so good as our pain and hurts,
Can not be discovered.
Physically we hide the fact we are in braces and pain,
We winch at times when someone misuses our name,
We hide the real things that are wrong,
For we do not want pity,
We want to seem strong.
We stand tall even when our spines do hurt,
We fight back when people, drag our name through the dirt,
We have our pride,
But we hide our pains deep inside.
Do not judge someone by the way they look,
Don’t think because they stand tall, or walk well that they don’t hurt,
For if you do, you misjudge, you see,
It’s like looking at a books cover,
All pretty and nice,
When inside there may be someone hard as ice, or a hot mess,
You will never know, if the surface is how you judge,
So, be careful especially if the book cover,
Wont budge !
You never know, what is behind the cover !
