To See and Be Yourself
June 11, 2021
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.

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.
