Free

Trying
to wave
my white flag
signaling for help
hoping you'll

Look!
I'm begging you
to notice
that something
isn't

Right
behind this
carefully constructed
mask lies
the ugly

Truth
when the pretense
crumbles
all lies will come
crashing

Down!
scattering around
my feet
shards of glass
cutting

Deep
leaving my skin
broken
with blistering
wounds

Exposed
to the world
with nowhere to run
or hide
stripping me

Naked
for all eyes
to see but perhaps
I will be
finally set

Free.
