The Knowing Stranger

You are the epitome of confidence and fun

Outwardly smiling, inwardly numb

I see you

You are positivity, wellness and peace

Surface happy, deep sense of unease

I see you

You are unbreakable and hard to workout

Smoke and mirrors, reflecting self-doubt

I see you

I see under the surface, I see between your lines

I see into your mind

I see you

Your vulnerability burns to the touch, but I can’t help but put my fingers in the fire

You speak the language of my soul, you lie to me, you are a liar

I see you

I see all of you

I see me...
