Real Me
On my fiftieth
After cutting the cake
When lights went out
I lay on my bed
The darkness struck
Showed me a thing
Hidden deep under
Delusions and conceit
Supple and soft
It sneaked through cracks
Shaking off the dust
Of decades covering it
But before it could smile
I banged it shut
Afraid of losing
All I had gained over years
And the life of feigning
For wealth and peers
So deep down somewhere
Under heaps and mounds
Forsaken again
Lies the real real me
