RedRavenPoems

Like a chameleon changing colors

We hide behind a mask

We peel away a layer

A new skin lies beneath

We become who we must

To survive in this world

Yet it’s a process filled with pain

With misery and doubt.

As we lie to ourselves

The inner truth rants and shouts

Demanding what this is about.

It wants us to be free

It wants us to be who we truly must be.

But this world is not so kind

It keeps us in a bind

As we hide the truth, until a later time.
