What Lies Beneath

Folder: 
Crimson

Caressed by a notion
Taking heed of what is seen
Viewed without emotion
Of what the eyes receive


Everyone can see it
No one sees beneath
Everyone's complacent
The surface never breached
The view from the outside, staring in
The calm before the storm that's coming in


And no one ever sees
What lies beneath


No one takes the time
To see what lies inside
No concern to look too deep
To find what lies beneath


On the surface, all looks calm and at peace
But deep inside the churning digs in deep
The truth of so much life that can't be reached
A kaleidoscope of active energies


But no one ever truly sees
What lies beneath


No one takes the time
To see what lies inside
No concern to look too deep
To find what lies beneath


Nobody looks inside
Nobody takes the time
To ever look and see
What lies beneath

So totally understand this,

So totally understand this, our curiosity of others is unrivalled it seems not everyone seeks the core of a person.... Excellent write I can very much relate!

You piss me off you know that?

Your words flow right off the pages.

A letter literally hit me in the face.

I just got "letter punched."

This was amazing!!
