The Real Identity.

Covet and behold me…
   For my true face veiled
      Not those assertive eyes 
         That I feign with each emergence
            Only for you

Witness and understand…
   Unspoken fear in weighted pockets
      Of fervors dire obligations
         Imparting the dutiful soul
            Unrecognized within

                       Discover who is before you
