What's True
She considers herself smart, independent, and beautiful...
On the inside.
On the inside she holds nothing back...
Her mind is free.
Her mind is free of judgement, scorns, and procrastination...
Except on the outside.
On the outside she is shy, hiding, and quiet...
They don't know.
They don't know that what they see on the outside is nothing but 1% percentage of what is true.
What is true is that yes she is shy, quiet, smart, independent, beautiful even...
But to those who seek.
Those who seek find what's true within you....
And what's within you is true.
