Who are we when no one is watching?

Are we the truest version of ourselves?

The raw version where light shines on our deepest darkness?

The pure version where our souls fill up our entire being, finally free of the chains we smother them in??

When we can forget about worldly pressures and simply just be??

Are we who we truly are only in the quiet moments?

Or is who I am a reflection of how I act when I’m surrounded by my community??

Is it the forced smile I give a stranger

Or the lack of responsibility behind closed doors??

The hug I give to a lost soul

Or the calm silence in my chest when I’m alone?

Who are we when no one is watching?

No one different

I am me

You are you

Who we are never shifts or wavers.

How we act however, is an ever changing display
