Inside/Outside
On the inside I’m happy
Only the outside is surly and forlorn.
On the inside I see you
But on the outside act like you’re not even there.
On the inside I hate myself
While on the outside I power through it
Look you in the eye, make you laugh.
On the outside I love you
Buy you flowers and jewelry
I plot your happiest possible day.
On the inside I know you think I’m stupid,
I know you settle for the waters I’ve polluted
On the outside I’m grateful
On the inside I seethe with poor kid fury
On the inside I’m deeply sorry
For taking advantage of the situation.
On the outside I act like I deserve this. And more.
On the outside I just got a haircut
On the inside I’m a drainpipe clogged with curls
On the outside i can't even look
Inside, I’m looking, looking, I never stop looking
