Sleep tight my sweetheart
I will be watching myself as my inner world crumbles
and then I will put the pieces back together, but differently
becoming the version of me that you deserve,
something new you helped to build, the real me
I have been hiding in my princess castle, unknowingly waiting
for a knight, but not in shiny armor
someone who would just be courageous enough to make me see myself
turn the castle walls transparent so there was nothing to shelter me
because he could see I truly did not need shelter
I needed courage to undress and stand naked before the world
speaking metaphorically of course
My knight has a soft armor
but it shines brighter than light
and illuminates the darkest, deeply buried corners of my so called soul
he holds the lamp so that I can clean those corners out once and for all
and become who I truly am
without the darkness dragging me down anymore
sleep tight my sweetheart
when you open your eyes
I will be ready
