Ugly Truth

My feelings escape me at times

through the parts of me

I never had a chance to seal.

I try to contain them.

I try to explain them away

but still they creep me out.

They peek out from behind my shadow

that I keep in front of me as a guard.

And I am ruined

because the truth feels so ugly.
