Shelter in the Shadows

Post by theFeeLion »

What you see is what you get
___but so much remains hidden.
The doors only open
______only for a chosen few
___selectively.
Never are they thrown wide open.
Shelter in the shadows.

We all wear masks,
___we all have shadows.
Some are more convincing
___than others.
Some slide unwantedly,
Revealing the things
___they were entrusted
______to hide.

Why are we so afraid to hurt?
To love?
To laugh?
Why are we so afraid of joy?

Come faeries take me out of this dull world. For I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame. - W B Yeats
