I put on a cloak

Hide in my own sanctuary

It still refuses

To reveal its identity

An instinctive shield

That keeps me away

From all the worries

Hoping they would just melt away

The hard rough exterior

That conceals myself

So no one can notice

If another me exists beneath

The another me lurking inside

Sealed shut to let no one see

The unrecognizable part of me

That no one would discover

People only look at the cover

So they never realize about the ugly side

They only see the perfect me

That is blanketed in layers and layers of lies

The layers would protect me

From anyone trying to see

The sensitive and monstrous side of me

That no one would ever be able to rip open

Yet no one knows what I’m feeling

Underneath the cloak that I am wearing

The cloak that I always keep beside me

To go into hiding

I put on a cloak

Hide in my own sanctuary

It still refuses

To reveal its identity
