Theme: Fear as daunting yet able to be overcome.

Fears are stains

We are in awe of that which we fear

Like children to the night

We embrace its cold-steel heart

As we howl at the moon

Tearing at the mask

The differences, by darkness are masked

They are what cause that stain

The moon-

Light illumines that which we fear

The things that we let corrupt our heart

They shift within the night

The burning remarks are eased with the cool of night

We finally remove the day's mask

And allow the emergence of our broken heart

We allow this stain

Even if it incites that which we fear

We will bask in the warmth of the smiling moon

If only one could be as the moon

Unafraid of the judgment of night

But alas, we hold fear

Clutching the weight to our breast, the weight of the mask

If only we did not fear the judgmental stains

Though we may have tender hearts

Perhaps they are like the moon

Without blemishing stain

Illuminating each life's own night

Peering around the cracked mask

To know that which we fear

We know our fear

How it pulls at our mighty hearts

How we are impeded by our personal masks

But, we can be as the moon

Bearing our standard bravely in the cold night

Because hope washes away all stains

Do not fear the stain

Let the night embrace your heart

Know that in the presence of the moon you need no mask
