Speak to me

Stay with me

Speak to me from the shadows creeping within

Don't shine your fake light my way.

I want the raw

I want the real

Choose to embrace all that is you

I see all the different masks

But masks eventually break into tiny pieces

What will you do when they are gone?

Who will you choose to be then?

Will you just seek another mask

Or will you dare to choose vulnerability?

Let me see the bare skin beneath

Be naked in front of me

Because I will love you still wholeheartedly

I will kiss away your scars and distrust

I will make you see a life worth living

I will banish all insecurities and doubts

No shame will reside in your heart

For I am love

And you are loved.
