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.
