You look at me seeing only what is on the surface struggling student single mother unconfident , timid content with the hand I've been dealt But inside this skin behind these eyes inside my mind are dreams hushed desires quieted fears longing Don't think you know me from what you see what you think you understand the meaning to the words I've spoken You see my shell my mask my armor but none see what's underneath what is hiding concealed inside this skin

I like this one Danielle, so often people do tend to judge us on just what they see and the outward trappings of our lifes. I think you are way far more then what you say a single mother and student, I think you are a special talent blossoming as each day showers you with more sunlight and warmth. Write on Danielle,
