Wear the hood again
and see if they won't love you more
You'll realize it's the only thing
that
      had
      joined
              your
            ­         life
                       with
                         theirs,
                                  like
                                   stairs.
Without the hood,
it'll be so

To slid them away - yet again
Have you ever been in the situation where people only love you when you are in your disguised self?
That is, they show much care and accept you not for who you really are, but your fake self.
Do you have to be in that position to remain in their love or you have to accept your real self, even though that choice risks losing more of them, or possibly, everyone.
