Insides vs. Outsides

I know my insides, the trauma, doubt, fear.
I see your outsides, serene, cheerful, confident.
Now you share your insides with me,
the trauma, doubt, fear…
and how you see me as leading, perceptive, aware.
The comparison between ins and outs
is like apples and watches — not valid to match up.
From now on I’ll stick with my insides,
my outsides, the only things I can change
and know you, love you, so I keep on knowing
my insides lie.
