We all live double lives; the first
Is what appears outside,
The way the world perceives us
As opposed to what we hide.
That outward part is what we wear
And say and how we act.
We’re judged by all our positives
Or qualities we’ve lacked.
Our other life, though, is what flows
Through arteries and veins
Plus, more important, what resides
Inside our hearts and brains.
This second part may differ from
Its other half or not
And we may choose to share a little
Or, perhaps, a lot.
Relationships are based upon
The way we seem to be,
Yet just below the surface is
What others cannot see.
