-Truth- will set you free
from fear made by self-doubt.
To be brave is all -about-
-being- yourself when too scared to be.

But when it comes to -me-
-I'm hiding- my true self behind a rotting tree.
This self hatred is -a painful- identity,
and future me can not be
because of my conflicting -duality-

In -my heart- the truth lies,
I paint my confession a disguise.
The secret -is- rather conspicuous,
Written to reflect my feelings that are also -ambiguous-
