I Am...

I am wiser than
most people think.
Yet,
I am more foolish than
most people suspect.

I am meaner than
lots of people.
Yet,
I am kinder than
some people deserve.

I am sadder than
most people know.
Yet,
I am happier than
lots of people.

I am more than
what people think of me.
Yet,
I am exactly what they see.
