Are you living

behind my eyes?

Why is it

you can see everything

that I disguise?

You know the cracks

You know the holes

You know the things I've never told

To a soul

Before you came

And found a home

Deep in my bones

And now I'm free

I'm finally me

And my vision

Is not blurry.

I have two eyes

But no disguise

I am unveiled

Come see me fail

Or maybe win

Because I can

Because I am

Myself

In this room

And in this world

And with people

Who help uncurl

The mask I brave

The mask I hate

The mask that has finally

Slipped

Off of my face
