At what cost
do we hide our light?
Fear that paralyzes,
depriving us the prizes
that self expression holds.
When darkness seeks to
snuff the heart of love
it feigns a friendly face
as its icy fingers trace
lines of doubt upon the brow.
You must not ask it in
nor accept its judgment sharp
lest your soul it deftly slice
as defeat it doth entice,
that clever jealous liar.
The looking glass is true,
it knows not of deceit.
Be courageous, look inside
there is no need to hide
the reflection that is you!
Be Brilliant!
