What If...?





Laughter tinkles.

Gaity abounds.

Grins widen.

Frivolity sounds.



Not a care

as days pass by,

a permanent twinkle

in sparkling eyes



Look deeper.

Do you dare

to see more

than what is bared?



What is not shared?

Do you care?



Can it perhaps be

that appearances could deceive?



Is this possibility

too difficult for you to conceive?



What if...

the yellow brick road

was only a cover

for a flawed mother lode?



What if...

all that glitters is not really gold?



What if...

imperfections were to unfold?



What if...

smiles hid tears?



What if...

laughter hid fears?



What if...

I had problems just like you?



What if...

I needed understanding too?



Don't be too hasty

in believing

what at first

you may be perceiving.



There is much more

than what you first see

in the complex construction

of all that is me.
