A secret
There is something
I am ashamed of
and don’t like to admit to;
something bugging me.
Fortunately, it’s far away.
But, when I look in the mirror
it seems to be
inside of me
and repeat “I’m here to stay.”
It urges me to open up,
reveal the leitmotif,
so that it ceases to be a secret
and turns into light, truth,
and relief.
