I wish you could.

I wear humor like a mask
Every joke and story told
Hides the inner me.

I wear my sarcasm like a shield
Every jibe and verbal thrust
Protects the inner me.

I weak my charm like a cloak
Every vivacious smile and word
Camouflages the inner me.

I wear bravery like a sword
Every swagger and proud retort
Guards the inner me.

My inner me loves peace and quiet
And analyze things for hours
My inner me loves to weep sadly
And observe the world like wonder.

It is easily hurt by callous comments
And devastated by cruelty and some moments
Its is soft as thistle and elusive as waves
And needs to be buffered by others.

I never drop my outer defences
And let you glimpse the inner me
You won't understand how gifted you are
Because you don't see the inner me.

Advice for over-smart people : Practice what you preach. If you expect something
from someone also remember that they expect some things from you.
After all. Karma is a bitch. What you do,comes back to you like a
boomerang. Open your doors for knowledge.
