A crack forms in the foundation

Fault line through your defenses

Illuminating the essence

Once clouded by a myth

Store bought conformity

Force-fed duality, I warp reality

The comfort that you will find,

As you remain hidden.

The light betrays,

casting your true self away,

They remain blinded.

As Vanity possesses me

I am further away

Gripped by a belief in empty words

Driven by a need to prove

The shell may wither

But the fire burns eternal

You hide behind

...cower...

The light that blinds

Will never find

What burns inside

You remain blind

Behind the light
