Feared, intimidating, evil, and heartless. This is how I'm perceived. They'll cross the street to avoid walking by. But that's not me; that's my wall. It protects me like it protects China. What they see is a sheet that is held in front of me There for me to hide under, To shield me from the world. No one ever bothers to look behind the painting I put out. For if they should, behind it they'd find a locked safe with the true me inside. Caring, loving, passionate, and scared. This is how I perceive myself. How my friends, family, and works see me. Those who have dared to crack the code and look inside at the true person I hold inside. So I dare you to crack the code Learn who is under that sheet Because however feared, intimidating, evil, and heartless they are perceived, That might not be them. © Copyrights of Adelle Whitefoot
