Jack-in-the-box

Insecure.
Yup
That's me.

Yes.
Yes
I am.

I may look
tough
from the outside
But actually
I am
a softy
from the inside

I am insecure
about who i am
about who i love
about the way I look
about the way
others think of me

I know I should not
give a damn
so I pretend I don't
But if you manage
to break through this facade
I'm hiding behind
you'll see
I'm not the way
you expected me to be
are you disappointed?
are you disappointed in me
not being who you thought
i was?
are you disappointed
you didn't know me
as well as you thought you did?

i know
i am
a jack-in-the-box.
