Not What It Seems...

Things aren't always what they seem...

Beauty is not appearance,
Confidence is not a trait,
Trust is not a gift,
Love is not fate.

Life is not a privilege,
Shyness is not fear,
Size is not strength,
Rain is not tears.

Defeat is not weakness,
Perfection is not real,
A promise is not a joke,
A relationship is not a deal.

Unattached pieces are not broken,
Courage is not pretend,
Pain is not a cure,
Death is not the end.
