Angle of Incidence

ANGLE OF INCIDENCE
I cried alone again last night,
I didn’t want company.
I wanted to let myself leak out
To see what I’ve made of me.
And everything before my eyes
Held no hint or sign of pretence,
And I feel as if I’m trapped within
My own angle of incidence.
I find that people are taken aback
By my honest and open way.
I am straight-forward - perhaps abrupt;
They recoil, and turn away.
They all reflect a person they’re not,
They wear masks, but no conscience.
And all I wear is armour made
Of my angle of incidence.
My reflection is not false,
What you see is who I am.
I console myself by challenging you
To be yourself - if you can!
You can hide behind your mask,
It is your only defense.
For I can see through your disguise
From my angle of incidence.
