The Secrets Within

Walking on an island

It's so full of beauty

The prettiest green forests

The sand is so soft

Comfy enough to sleep on

The ocean is so pretty

It sparkles

This island seems to be so divine and perfect

But it holds secrets

Secrets it doesn't want to let out

It hides the pieces it finds ugly

It hides its flaws

Making it look perfect

Until one day it can't hide it anymore

It secretly had a volcano and it erupts

All over the beautiful island

The beauty being engulfed by lava and ash

Showing what it hides underneath

It has crevices

It has flaws

And is imperfect

Has been all along

People try to hide their flaws too

The volcanic eruption shows your hiding of who you are exploding on you

Not being honest in the first place

Hiding from the ones who love you for who you are and would never judge you

Imperfection is beautiful and we all have it

So stop hiding who you really are

The ones who leave you or judge you for it

Didn't deserve you anyway

People who love and care about you

Will not judge you for who you are

You can't hide yourself away forever anyway

It'll be revealed and it'll be harder for you

So don't hide yourself from the people who love you.
