Oh to be in the dark  
to hide behind  
the curtain of lies  
the mask of perfection  
such beautiful deception  
bright light that shines  
can’t hide behind  
the curtains open  
my mask falls  
wondering have I been real at all?  
seeking the shadows hoping to hide  
but only in light then do I find  
scars, cracks, mistakes in my mold  
am I someone worth to hold?  
perfection is rejection of reality  
so I must not hide behind lies  
allowing myself to be in light, so I can shine
