VERITY....

You look behind the laughter
To find the confusion inside.
You look behind the success
To find the sweat and the sacrifices.
You look behind the insincere words
To find the emptiness inside.
You look behind the magnanimity
To find the guilt of having the undeserved.
You look behind the popularity
To find the fear of being alone.
Sometimes, you need to look behind the smooth exteriors,
To find the chaos that reigns within.
To understand,
To find verity.

Hi! Nandini,

Well.............a deep thought but I have something to add. It's not ALWAYS that the smooth exterior has roughness inside. It's possible that things are as they appear to be......

verity...verity itself is relative in this context...when it comes to personality, its too complex to analyse what is the truth n wat is not...in fact, the question itself might not arise...

I would say its deep, because most things dont appear the way they are, and there are very few people who would look behind all the appearances people project to the rest of the world.
A glaring example would be the million models and actresses who seem to be nothing short of 'beauty personified'. Few care to see through the heavy make-up and the plastic smiles.
