Conceal No More
What superficial concepts these are? When we are neither here or there
When we conceal our hearts, when we hide elsewhere
We claim to be invincible
But we aim in that to maim
It is straight and true
Who among us should take the blame?
But why dress up what we say? Being dishonest with self
We must be honest in all we do, as we approach the proverbial shelf
We should strive to be transparent
To be explored by ourselves and others perhaps
Guarding and mystery will change little
Of what is plainly visible like symbols on maps
