Beneath the Armour
Hey there,
I hope you're well.
Last time we spoke,
I wanted to let the words escape,
To tell you what I’ve been hiding.
But this armor, this alpha facade,
It’s all I’ve ever known.
I stand tall, unyielding,
But in the quiet moments,
I wonder if that’s truly me.
Maybe the alpha is just a shadow,
A mask I wear to protect what’s real.
Because inside, there’s a whisper,
A yearning to confess,
To say out loud
That I am madly in love with you.
Yet, I hold back,
Bound by the image I’ve created.
But sometimes, just sometimes,
I dream of letting go,
Of telling you everything,
Of showing you the heart behind the facade.
Maybe someday,
I’ll find the courage
To be more than the role I play,
To be real,
To be me.
