What are we, hidden behind this shell?
In a mask of fog that never goes away?
Who are we meant to be?
We're all scared of this blindness we share.
Sulking thought the dark,
Is not at all what I thought it would be.
Are you frightened by the mist clouding your eyes?
It seems perpetual, a never ending dream.
Why can't you see,
This daylight like me?

The author's comments:
Step out of the darkness and into the sunlight, and don't be afriad to do it.
