•••

he's oozing with confidence.
he's all smiles,
stars filled his eyes,
he always shine.
some envy him,  some bad mouth him.
people often perceived him as a person so full of himself.
but little did they know it was just a built in facade.
for years,  he tried to put up a strong front.
he would always offer his hand when you need him to.
he would always give you advices if you ask him to.
he would buy you food when you're not in mood.
he would cheer you up when you're feeling down.
he's always there for you.
but when he's alone,  that's where it all starts.
everything in him becomes numb.
darkness envelopes his heart.
he hates himself for inconsiderable things.
he resents his friends for being better than him.
he's tired of always trying.
he's tired of being nothing.
and in the end,  he unfailingly blames himself for not being good enough.
no one offers him a hand like how he do.
he's used to keep it all to himself.
he buries it all inside his tangled heart.
he might be strong outside
but just a little pull, he might fall apart.
if you think you know him fully,  think again.
there's so much more of him that you're yet to unraveled.
