Hiding behind Self imagery,
"If i look ok they'll leave me be".
"I'll blend myself in with society",
"I wont stand out, they wont notice me".
"Ill poke and prod, and ill joke around".
"Everyone loves humour, they'll think me 'Sound'".
"Ill be invited to all nights out drinking",
"The guy to invite, thats what they'll be thinking".
What he doesnt realise, Is i see beyond the 'Banter'.
I see beyond the ego, The jokes and the laughter.
I see the insecurities, he harbours within,
I see the fear he holds, of not fitting in.
He deflects his insecurites, onto his piers,
So he can burry deep, his insecure fears.
I dont feel resentment, or hatred as such,
I just hope he grows up, before sacrificing too much.
