Eyes reflect with ashen glow
all the things you don't want to know
Truth will set you free they say
sometimes I seek ignorance,
bliss just one more day
I can march across mountains
my burdens bare for all to know
I'll never be
locked down
sheltered
hidden
veiled
I can ring my bells of truth
echoing through the town
I'll never be
silenced
gagged
muted
bound
I am precise
unadulterated
transparent
real and true
forever laid bare
authenticity shines through
*I will never be someone's shame
