(or 'Things aren't always what they seem,
and the same goes for people.')
-
It's a commonly held belief.
a theory by many supposed,
that inside every fat person
there's a thin person enclosed.
And it's often been said before
(though that doesn't make it less truth)
that inside many a middle-aged man
beats the heart of a passionate youth.
A girl with the plainest exterior
may be blessed with a soul of great beauty,
while one who appears just a butterfly
may deep down be a slave to her duty.
But here is another hypothesis
I'd respectfully like to suggest,
(if no-one has any objection)
that might take up its place with the rest.
If I'd courage to match my conviction
I might stand on the table and shout,
but it's this - Inside every introvert
there's an extrovert trying to get out.
Wow! Here's a poem that makes you start to think about the world around you. Everyday people mask who they are and no one knows who they are inside. This poem tells you to look closer. I loved it! Kat, ^_^
I totally agree with your hypothesis, Paul - you don't need to stand on the table and shout - this poem simply exudes the flamboyance of a true extrovert! ! S ;)

Dichotomy [or Puri-chotomy] is the human nature…some time appear as pairing [opposite] e.g. love // hate, greed // benevolence, virtues // vices, anger // gentleness, and so on…it is difficult to stay with even-mindset and those make that they’re history maker… Nice poem and Ten Ms. Nivedita UK
