Is dangerous
It uncovers things we were happier
To leave unseen
Unsaid
It leaves nowhere to hide
No more corners to play the victim
No more darkness to retreat into
It kills the need for further explanation
The facts speak for themselves
It grinds over-explanation to a halt
Incessant apologies finally no longer need to be uttered
It removes the blinds
So that those accustomed to the darkness
Must now reckon with the light
That light shines indiscriminately
Revealing our vices and our victories,
Exposing motives and inclinations worthy of damnation
Intertwined with beautiful inner realities that, like the Sun
Are too marvellous to behold with the naked eye
Oh to tell the truth
The whole truth
Is a wonderfully terrifying thing
Because
Naked and bare is how they’ll find us now
O, the vulnerability
O, the freedom.
