Hidden Truth
I struggle!
Every day I struggle:
I battle with the Truth;
I wrestle with who I am.
I am a sinner,
Indeed, that cannot be hidden,
But my inner self I keep inside,
Away from those I love.
I do not hide my heart
For the dark it holds;
Rather, for the light
That is trapped underneath.
I am afraid of
Revealing my true nature:
Not due to my evil, but because
I am not who I want to be.
Who I am and who I want to be
Are two persons competing
In the frail body that carries me,
Both struggling towards the Truth.
For I am both the son of God
And the son of the Prince of Lies;
But only One carries my inheritance,
And the Other bears my destruction.
Only in the Truth
Can I truly be saved.
Only in revealing the desires of my heart
Can I receive the Light!

I was inspired to write this poem by my faith in God and by constant struggle with the truth. This is also about my struggle to reveal my feelings to others.
