unravelled

if I expressed, exhumed, exerted this freedom;

if I spoke my mind and showed my true colors.

if you saw through this mask, this cover up;

would you flinch at what you see?



I hold a smile to cover up this brokenness.

I cower behind nonchalance &

disregard at emotional burdens.

I run at commitment,

hesitating at every few steps.

I bleed, cry, and lose control.

I fear death, rejection, isolation, and heartbreaks.

I worry, think, delve into harbored regrets.

I hold silent grudges, until the pain becomes unbearable.

I label and judge unconsciously,

give up at excessive hardships.

...and the list goes on.



human nature

in all its strength and its weaknesses;

why bother even covering up

and pretending what not?



maybe, just maybe,

you're not so different from me.

we're camouflaging and blending

so the world won't be judge.



but in times like these

when you look at me,

stripped, un-masked,

imperfect as I am;



I hope you'll stay.




no obligations, complications,

hidden agendas.

just plain, sole

sincerity.




I hope you'll find sanctuary in this wish.


I hope you'll share in the joy,

innocent, naive, ignorant in its growth.



I hope you'll take

this leap of faith;

soar through this journey

with me till the end...




...but really,

does that even make sense?
