People passing by,
Seeing Familiar strangers,
Their exterior is golden,
Like a crisp, clean apple,
But under the exterior hides downfalls, struggles, and imperfections,
The first impressions can be deceitful,
The exterior may be golden but the core can be damaged,
People sometimes appear like an illusion of water in the desert,
They can appear happy and free but they are actually trapped by the barrier of perfection that they put amount themselves,
It may be tempting to bite the apple, to think the first impression is fully true and nothing could be wrong with them,
The serpent has fooled you to think that,
You never really know a person until you see their core, and the cover isn’t always what’s in the pages.
You try to understand, to know what is going on inside their illusion, they resist when you try to open the pages of their life,
They are scared that what you see inside those pages is something you’ll regret,
Everyone had troughs and saddening things in their life, you can’t just erase the pages, they make you who you are.
