You and I...The Difference!

There's a stillness in my heart.

And yet freely I breathe.

You see me as my skin

Little do you know,

There's so much more within

All the polish that you feign

All the education, upbringing,

Everything, EVERYTHING in vain!

And while you toss and turn,

Trying to get peaceful sleep,

Nothing you say or how you behave

Can take away my laughter, my joy,

My zest for life, my self-belief.
