Disarm Defenses

Prone to portray an image to have it all figured out 
Externally put together while internally pulled apart 

Ready to take off armor and start letting down guard
Reinforcing interior instead of constructing a façade 

Possible to flip the script to stop putting on a show
Displaying my mess instead as an opportunity to grow
