Inner TruthsInner Truths

The truth is a dangerous weapon
From which we try to hide
We cloak ourselves with facades
Safe behind our masks and pride
Denying our fears and failures
We take comfort in our lies
Pretending to be better than we are
We too often close our eyes

The truth hurts, cuts us deep
And shows us what we don't want to see
We deny what we can't believe
Preferring to just leave things be
Hiding in our private worlds
We remain distant and aloof
But no matter how fast we run
We can't escape the inner truths

Deep within us, always there
These truths can't be denied
They make us face our shortcomings
No matter how well we hid
Mirrors of MistMirrors of Mist

I gaze at my reflection
And wonder what others see
Do they notice the conflicts
That forever torture me
Does anyone ever notice
The anger I can't control
Do they ever feel my agony
Of always being alone

The mirror seems to mock me
Showing things that can't be true
The polished surface hides the demons
That fill me through and through
Others see a happy man
One that lives a pleasant life
But they can't understand
My hellish existence of strife

I try to see the good things
Those jewels that people love
But all I ever discover
Are the constant push and shove
I can't find the qualities
My friends and family h

I love the idea, but the smoke and dust particles (I assume they're meant to be that) are too uniform.

Love the volcanic idea though. :)
