Behind the Scenes

Behind the scenes are shattered memories,

A young man built to fall,

who tried to climb the fake castle wall,

 

Without the disguises, without surprises,

the wallflower shows, all that it knows,

 

It knows it’s strength and dexterity,

It knows it’s prosperity,

 

It is kind, gentle, loving and free,

please reader now can you see me?

 

Me and only me,

ditch the frames,

change the lens,

and be cleansed,

 

See me for me,

my beauty and grace,

my flaws and my face,

and now brace,

 

Because for all that is good and bad,

and everything that is so sad,

I am me,

Human and free
