Living this way
Is no longer
Bearable
Concealing myself
From this world of pain
I am alone
In this solemn place
Inside me
This self created
Empty hide out
Where my greatest
Desires lye
The world has come to know
The mask I hold
In front of me
Stealing and
Not revealing
The potential
I hold
This mask held up
With fear
Fear of what
I could be
I can no longer
Hear my own
Voice
The mask
Speaks
For me
Though my fear
Remains
My mind can no longer
Be contained
To my hiding place
The mask is coming off
You can all now see
The girl I’ve
Always
Been afraid
To be
