The seems of my disguise burst at the seams
Of simmering restraint. For, sun-like, beams
The shadowed self through artificial means,
Resplendent force that must demand be seen.
To know myself by peering outside-in
Didn't you know?I'm nothing specialCompared to everyone elseI'm not important.
But truly that is what is not important.
I appear to be perfect
I have a good family
I have good friends
I go to a university
People do not understand who I used to be
I was not confident
I was a follower
