Do we ever dare to reveal our real personas,
open the blinds to what we hide inside?
Is there anyone we trust to love us always,
no matter how silly we sound or think?

Do we ever trust anyone to look past flaws,
seeing wrinkles as signs of our depths.?
When do we let down our guardrails,
trust someone to care for who we are?

Will you notice a lover?s growing waist,
never see it because your love is deeper?
When do we say,?I need you?, without fear,
not thinking for one second it won?t be returned?

When is the person inside more than the surface?
Knowing the wrinkles are beautiful to him,
since the years proved you?d stay by his side,
when life was rough, tempers flared, passion failed.

Why is it so hard to show who we are,
covering flaws when the need is not there?
Shouldn?t love blind us to some faults,
remind us we are worth the time it takes.

What is the problem that causes some to cower,
grab old photos when we were in our youth?
This is just an outward thought expressing doubts,
that should have been tossed with passing years.
