All you see is the tip of my iceberg

By all appearances you only see the smile covering

The storm beneath the surface is rarely experienced

By all appearances this is my internal thing

I shake your hand and say kind words

But there is conflict that goes unheard

My body language may give you a clue

Those special days when I am feeling blue

Just like the finest china I can be easily broken

The façade you see is just a sham

By all appearances I fight for control

To release the hurt that dampens my soul

Believe me when I say but watch how I act

I am not violent by nature I am a peaceful chap

By all appearances is just the tight line I walk

Your kindness is desired and helps is not an after thought

Please remove the cover that hides your intent

And live a life in the sunshine without regrets

By all appearances will not be required

Only then one world and one love will house our desires
