To be robbed of the hues

Which once swallowed the truth in entirety

To destroy the shield

That once defended fragility

To penetrate the wave

To reach the eye of the storm


To penetrate the wave

To reach the eye of the storm


To transform

Into utter transparency

To be naked of the lies

Which once clothed our vulnerability.


The discovery of oneself 

Lies under the blanket

Of unmasking

Reality.


The author's comments:

This poem is about coming in touch with your real self, unearthing your true identity. Made up of mostly metaphors, the poem is not addressed to any single person but everyone, because everyone has at least one thing that they hide about themselves in order to fit into society, but being yourself can help everyone unmask true reality.
