Beneath this façade of normalcy, I conceal
A heart that's fragile, a mind that can reel
With hidden flaws and scars that run deep,
A toxic brew that I try to keep.
In moments of darkness, my words turn to thorns,
Misdirected arrows, like verbal storms
I lash out in anger, my words laced with pain,
Leaving wounds that may never fully wane.

Would you still look at me the same,
If you knew the darkness that consumes my flame?

Will you love me in my full glory?
Will you love me in my full grotesque?
I am so afraid I am terrified
But I have nothing to hide.

Can you look me straight in the eye?
Without the terror inside of yours?
Once I let my beast out in the broad daylight?
I'm in your hands now,
Don't blame me if I throw daggers
In the form of words.

I sensed your love
Take a really careful look...
