Unveil


Noise 

The commotion

I need to

Stand out, be bold

But what is inside me

Needs to be told

I am me

Not them

Myself

Without it

That wretched mask

I hide my weakness

Hidding is an easy task

Under my long veil

Something starts shining

My weakness

Brightening

The futures

Of those that

Are not as strong

Find hope in my courage

Not stagnant, pressing on

Mask is off

Not still

Gone
