Numb? No actually better already, Painful? halfway, not full I suppose. Thought I was so very aware, Turned out, I didn't know half of the truth. Fears chasing me, yet again. And I try to stay in the moment, Maybe that was the mistake, I held on to it, with force. I was convinced, my inner state, Must feel all pure and harmonious, Every time I have made it into the Present moments. But very possible I was wrong, And I covered my fears with an image, Of how I would think, A moment in human's life should feel. Sounds bit complicated, I know. But I know what I talk about. I am tired of hiding the unpleasant, I better live with, not without it. In fact without it, that's not possible. At least till I have cleared it up. It can't disappear, it's emotional, And I used to cover it up. It was a part of my perfect thinking, I idealized myself, In my view, I am a real warrior, A hero for the weak and dead, I put this expectation on myself, I carried it around like a shield, And though no arrow really got to me, I still got traumatized, stopped to feel. In fact behind the shield I was just hiding, I hid my fears, my worries beneath, I am still very sure that they're my weaknesses, I tried to be different, and the result was this. I truly stopped to feel real pain, I fell to ashes and got up again, But through the journey, I lost who I was, And my humanity got lost. Now I am standing here, My shield, still in my hand, But I have made a hole, To look through it instead. I am not ready to uncover, How damaged I am underneath, I am not ready to discover, My truth and my uncertainties. I'm wounded, but I am alive. I see it although I still hide, Under the shield, A perfect game, The sun, the rain, They're all the same, No light comes in, And storms stay outside, But I am here to live, And I have to decide, Can I let the illusion go, Am I ready to meet with my soul, Am I ready to show the world, Who I am and who I'm actually not? Truly, I didn't even know, I held this shield through it all, I just saw it in my hand and realized, I am not as much a hero, as I fantasized. In fact I feel really hurt and blind, For the waking up is cutting within At the same time I realize, It is time to let life and light in. It is a very small, though heavy step to make. I am still shaking insecurely, I have fears. I need more courage now, Than I ever had, And I'm glad, that now I understand that.

About my deepest truth, how I am hiding behind some image of myself that seemingly doesn't get hurt.
