Crossroads

You place a mask for all to see.

A shield of comfort in shadowed disguise. 

Never allowing yourself to be free. 

Denying the true you inside to rise.

No one knowing the war within.

The battle to reveal the true you.

wondering which side of the fight will win.

Smothered in shadows until you turn blue.

You peel away layers to see what you find.

Fearing the face that will finally appear.

Will others reject or will they be kind?

To see the real you they would have to be near. 

Fear of rejection, judgement, and wrath.

Open exposure for all to see, 

Now at a crossroads you must choose a path,

To live in bondage or finally be free.

You pull off the mask and choose to be free,

Learning potential, talents, and pro's. 

Finally seeing the person you can be, 

No longer the person that nobody knows.
