SILHOUETTE

I am here,
Yet you cannot reach me.

You only glimpse my silhouette,
Never the real being.

You may never know
If beneath it stands a monster
Dressed in branded clothes.

I disappear like the breeze;
Within me lives that speed.

You will never grasp the real me,
For understanding me is a knot untied.

Whatever it is you see,
Know that it is only superficial.

Remember me for faster sign in

Where the true being rests,
No soul can truly tell.

Whether illusion or dream,
Whatever it may be, that is all.

I cry the cry,
I laugh the laugh.

I sob the sob,
I smile the smile.

Yet none of you
Can truly comprehend me.

My emotions are whirlwinds;
Whether they settle depends upon the wind.

After all,
You never saw the being,
Only the silhouette.
