Things aren't always as they seem (Poem).

°°°°°°•°°°°°°°°••••••°°°°°°•••••••°°°°°°°°••••••

She struts through the day like cakewalk,

But only the night knows her well,

The day's a tunnel vision,

She's the life of the party,

A tower of strength,

Súper mujer!

Only the night knows her truth,

Mamma Mia!

Daytime shenanigans,

Obeisance of the night,

Knees cuddled up to her chest,

Smiles smothered in teardrops,

Sipping bitter wine,

Clutching musty cigarettes,

Ugly cries,

Truth conquers lies,

The skeletons come out of her closet,

Ain't no laughter for her puppet show,

Every heart knows its sorrow,

Things aren't always as they seem,

She smiles above the pain,

A warrior at daylight, but

Only the night knows her well!

Things don't always appear as they seem quotes

“Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many; the intelligence of a few perceives what has been carefully hidden.”― Phaedrus

“All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.”
― William Shakespeare

“Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.”
― Abraham Lincoln

“I don't know. Just because someone's pretty doesn't mean she's decent. Or vice versa. I'm not into appearances. I like flaws, I think they make things interesting.”
― Sarah Dessen

“The thing about chameleoning your way through life is that it gets to where nothing is real.”
― John Green

“Being liked for the way you looked is worse than not being liked at all.”
