It's funny how truth can blaze through a lie. We try desperately to protect ourselves, and put on a great show- a quite convincing act. Our act proves that this is all we are: acting. Attempting to fool others, but in the process fooling ourselves.
Evelyn might believe that Shaphan cannot see her inner ugliness, covered safely behind a thicket of lies. The truth of the matter is that whilst others don't really know what is going on, they do know that what they are being told is not the truth. That probably speaks louder and clearer than the truth itself: our lies are unconsciously intentionally obvious. These lies are us screaming out for help, without actually screaming. Our pride is our worst best friend.
Naked. Exposed. Everyone could see me.
But none really saw me.
It was my heart that you were blind to.
It was my heart that you refused to see.
