The veneer.

Peeling off the veneer of your smile, 

The veneer of your smile.

I peer behind the veneer, 

The perfect veneer of the teeth, and the hair, and the eyes.

It's clear. 

Behind the veneer, the polished and glossy—the mesm'rizing gossip of truth.

Not a ruse.

Not the fullness of lips, not the angles of eyebrows, or how good the career.

It's the truth.

It's the ugly and painful and palpable truth that you hide with veneer,

The glossy veneer — your noose.

Show yourself. 

I'll accept.

I'll cherish.

We'll love.

Let go of the fake, the pretend, the 'I'm better than you'.

Show yourself.

Be you.

Unapologetically.

I finished chapters 6 and 7 of 'The Love We Wrote'. Chapter 7 (A Little Piece of My Heart) is again form Angie's perspective and those are always followed by new song lyrics from Angie Fisher's mind that are connected with the happenings of the chapter. What d'you think this song is about?
