Inner Light

​Look into the mirror what do I see 

Do I see, the outer shell that masquerades as me

Look a little closer, stare into my eyes

Can I see an inner glow, flickering, burning, a surprise

Ah maybe that is my inner light

The me stripped of pretences, burning ever brighter

The implications are tremendous
Look more closely at others, past the different facades

Can I find the inner light behind their masquerades

Will I find a different person hiding inside

Away from the projected face with filters all applied

We need to find the inner light 

To find the true mankind

Society encourages conformity that maybe makes us blind
