Fooled

"dont be fooled by me dont be fooled by the masks i wear for i wear a thousand masks, and none of them is me. i give the impression that im secure. confidence is my name and coolness is my game but dont believe me. beneath lies the real me; in confusion fear and aloneness. but i dont tell you this because im afraid to. i am afraid you will think less of me that you'll laugh at me. im afraid that deep down im nothing and no good. yet only you can call me into aliveness- each time you're kind and encouraging each time you try to understand because you care. who am i? you may wonder. i am someone you know very well. i am every man, woman, and child you meet." --anonymous.
