Plainly hidden
Amidst the crowd,
Exhibiting only
What is necessary
To function,
To participate
Within
The charade.
Inner secrets
Heavily guarded
As personal treasure,
Locked away
From quizzical eyes
Longing to judge
And create
Unease.
Lost to a world
In need
Of originality,
The potential costs
Seemingly too dear.
The soul’s price
Remains, yet
Unconsidered.
