What are you afraid of?
that thing which distracted thoughts keep you from remembering,
or what the warm smile hides,
(the real you)
dancing around the light, a
round of applause, for
we are impressed by your cowardice, for
our own cowardice makes us appreciate your movements,
the graceful steps; avoiding the light,
waving pleasantly to your admires,
is that even your face?
but you can’t mask the fear,
fear in each movement,
afraid to stumble
afraid to be rejected,
(afraid to be you)
thinking the light is your enemy, but
it’s the only ally you have,
if you just stop and let it bathe you,
expose you,
all of you,
then what will you be afraid of?
