I'm a dream away and a sleep behind, waking up safely blind.
Resurrected, dumb yet protected.
Confessing sins to an unkind witness.
Who is holding charm an arms length distance away.
While assisting mistakes to sneak up behind me,
finding me un-acclaimed, and blamed for shames sake.
For every shining star there are three that have fallen,
two misjudged by hands having stolen.
For every shining star there are three that have fallen,
two overlooked by eyes that are swollen with lies
and a fools golden splendor.
True targets of admiration stand in the shadows eclipsed
by the undeserving claiming the spotlight as their own.
Enacting failures to a mass audience.
Giving stagefright to greatness.
Performing miracles and walking on water when boastfully alone.
Hidden abilities unshown, unwept, undreamt.
Dare to sneak away, to play, without permission to say,
Do you care enough to look beneath, or care less?
