imprisoned

Do not let yourself be illusioned
By the cheerful colours my shirt reflects.
It's the same shirt, a hypocrite
That encircles my heart in darkness,
Doesn't allow a ray of light through
And keeps, in void, my heart imprisoned.

Do not let yourself be illusioned
By the virtue this shirt shows of me.
It's the same shirt, a hypocrite
That hides all my naked vice,
Doesn't allow out a hint of what I am,
And keeps, in void, my truth imprisoned.

Oh! I could tear off this shirt
That makes me anything but me.
But do not be illusioned
by this wish improper.
For behind this wish is a truth-
My fear for revealing my nakedness.
