My Soul, No Longer Behind the Curtain
Location
It's been too long,
It is time to reveal.
If the leaves can show the world their true colors,
Why can't I?
I have more potential than an inanimate object,
Yet I still cannot expose the real me.
I have gotten used to this shadow,
The shadow in which I dwell in.
I have reached a state of comfort in this confined place,
An isolated place.
I have reached a state of mind,
Where I believe I am not good enough.
The people have been hypnotized,
Society has taken over.
Therefore, I will not be accepted,
Not even in the church.
Their god is the god of all action and of all judgement,
Yet His people still judge and reject.
How can I present myself in the light of dark?
In the light of a dystopia?
I must have faith.
Not in the person that I am,
But in the soul that composes the person that I am.
My soul is warm,
And as soothing as a bird's chirp in the new morning,
As serene as the crescent moon in the night sky.
I will emerge from behind this curtain,
From this dark cocoon.
The world has narrow eyes,
But will see me for who I am.
My true potential will prevail,
And the curtain will be no longer.
