People say they think I’m brave

When they see my adventures a many

They do not know that underneath

Is a mind in fear, unsteady

It may seem like I mirror a goodness

Like the world’s light in me’s reflected

Instead I absorb it into a darker state

Where light is not to be expected

The people can see a smile so warm

A love behind my eyes

Beneath the surface is still unknown

I’ve perfected my disguise
