Winsome wiles have no one fooled
Bright red flag of charm excess
That which lurks behind the door
Waiting at the surface of the skin
To spring forth as the truth
But sadly you suppress
Manner draped in mask deceived
For once upon a time was said
You yourself, authentic being
Were not enough just to be
I tell you now that’s false untrue
Insincere pretence unnecessary
For you are richly worth
Candour to the world
