Sharin' Blessin' in Disguise

It seems the more you share about yourself, the more you are prone to be rejected
The more fear you have of how others perceive youself, like your self esteem under attacked,
You seek more affirmation of the good things about yourself, worried been misunderstood
That one fine day, your own insecurities, lead you to be a victim of your own good.

There are times, you hold back your thoughts, and bottle them all inside
You only share your glory, your success, less than that, you hide,
You smile, when you should have cried; remained calm, when you should panic
Then one fine day, you realize whoever you are to the world, is just a fake.

You don't take criticism too well, and fought defending yourself, at whatever cost
There is a degrading moment, when you found that a battle you have lost,
When you found no excuses to say, and no reasons to give
Your own flaws and weakness, you yourself couldn't even forgive.

Does the world always need to know you as the strongest and the wisest?
The most successful, the richest and the gayest in the party?
Does the world stop spinning, when you are low, down and under?
When you didn't shave, didn't dress your best, and smell like a stinging beggar?
Does your friends and family disown you at the moment, you flop with crisis?
When you can't fulfill your commitment, and you got evicted from your premise?

You stood tall, when you are at your best
Everyone is so very impressed,
Then you came crashing down, like an avalanche
Did you realize who are those who stood by your side?

Count them, and I am sure you will find still a great handful
They are just waiting for you to share with them, your heartfelt thoughts,
Cos they will show you your blessings in disguise
As long as you are bold enough to share, instead of shying away to hide.

Times honesty sucks, and hardship rip your ego apart
It is horrible to witness you cry, and pouring your heart,
Yet be honest with yourself, and be honest to those around you
You will find your blessings in disguise, when you are truthful.
