Hiding Under Assumed Identity
My shadows slam the doors of sanity,
barricade the lucidity of soaked nightmares.
I shrink and hide myself, brittle and flimsy behind
my naked eyes that can no longer see
the obscurity of my masquerades,
hiding my true self in assumed identity.
I lurk inside a dark soul that bares nothing
but broken dreams and foundation of shrouds.
I blanket my sinister past to seek redemption
but ambiguity veils my fractured heart
held together by duct tape of animosity.
I rip the binding off, discovering paralyzing panic,
a vulnerability cloaked in bogus beards,
listening to roar of whispers and silent screams.
I burrow under my skin and wash off my camouflage,
stop suppressing walls of deceit and breathless lies
and blot out the darkness to reveal the dawning light.
