The Mask

Reaffirm the reasoning behind the mask Declare the sight seen Eating of the fruit planted by my own hand Absorbing the sweet flavor of joy unbound I see an awesome hand The strength of doubt which dared bound the heart Knowing exactly who I am Trembling within revealing the unseen Knowing the shame, the dread within Comforted by a voice unheard I remove the mask Releasing the majesty contained within I therefore am confounded by the sight seen I see it wasn't reasoning Twas simplicity that ruled my soul A wondrous light overwhelms my sight Seeing now that which you have seen in me Visions exploding truly enlightening Freely expressing flight Unleashed by the mask The mask of doubt which I did not need
