You can only know a person so well.
People have a hidden layer in them that holds their purest intentions.
If you strip away a person's social reputation, a person's first impressions, you won't know the person underneath.
A stranger to you, a stranger to them.
You never know what lies beneath.
Under a facade of lies, under a cloak of demise, lies the true soul they despise.
A delinquent on the outside, a caring heart gone before sunrise, to shield oneself from the cruel world outside.
And that's why we hide, but you see the problem is that we lose ourselves among these lies.
Once to protect, we have become now what we aren't. And no relationship hatred to matrimony can divulge the secrets we hold.
The secrets that make us ugly, the ones that hide our unforgiving sin.
Secrets that will tip the scale when it is time to be judged by the holy ones.
And the truth is that most of us are going to grow horns and tails because when the time comes and layers are stripped away...
nothing pure remains.
