Rope me in
Your obscuring robe
Consume my shadow
My presence cloaked
Peeling back my skin
Let loose
Escaping from the judges noose
No longer captive in their sight
No verdicts read
No words to bite
No minds are swallowed
No anxious flight
Aphotic freedom
My obsidian knight
I'm blooming under
Your darkness falls
Inhibitions
Lifting off
I'm dancing through my trueself scene
Elation station
The place to be
Bar the light
For endless night
My fantasy
A darkling life
But fantasy is what it remains
The defacing dawn
Returns the shame
Falling back to hide away
Into my skin
The masquerade

The short lines make for a powerful strong canvas where many a reflection can be seen in this dark pool of wonder.

One pretends to be something else to hide the true self sometimes out of shame sometimes just shyness. I hear in this poem a plea to be oneself. Very nicely written
