MISCONCEPTION

To the outside world, I don't care about negative things said about me

But on the inside, it sometimes makes me ache.

To the outside world, I buy a lot of things

But in reality, I work a lot.

To the outside world, I have a very strong character

But on the inside, I’m scared of getting hurt.

To the outside world, I’m independent

But in reality, I don’t like to rely on anyone.

To the outside world, I’m lucky

But on the inside, I’m just scraping the barrel.

To the outside world, I seem like I don’t want a relationship

But in reality, I’m scared of being alone.

To the outside world, I look like I have it together

But in my opinion, I don’t.
