A Withering Soul

We face our secrets by stepping into the light.

It remains hidden. Locked away in the darkness, a withering soul.

Deprived of the light. Feeding secrets you deplore. Deep beneath your skin.

To frightened to shine, truth inside a troubled mind, unwilling to share.

Afraid you’ll be seen. The imposter’s final test. Exposed in the dark.

Show me your splinters, a true picture of your years, comparing our scars.
