Outside, looking in.

Folder: 
Oldies :)

From the outside looking in,
I can see her make a choice,
Wrong and hurting her within,
Yet fear restrains my voice.

I see another, who, in turn,
Is wandering into nowhere,
Pressing through the mists of darkness,
I can't tell him that I care.

From the outside looking in,
Who knows if the smiles are real,
They could all be burning inside,
Do I know how they truly feel?

Am I true to myself?
Is my outside what's within?
I always wonder what people see...
On the outside, looking in.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

..I'm so worried about my sister, my friends, and also who I am to others. Am I being the sort of person I'd want to be friends with?
