Mask

[Kriven]

Another crappy poem. I'll try to get some prose up here eventually. For now, don't let your eyes bleed too profusely.



I wear a mask
A mask that hides
My thoughts away
But-

I wear a mask
As do you
As do they
-today-

I wear a mask
My true self
Sadly denied
-I-

I wear a mask
A smile,
Painted and dry
-tear-

I wear a mask
Forgetting aspirations
Hopes and, desires
-my-

I wear a mask
It suffocates me
I can't breathe
-mask-

I wear my mask
At least I did
Until I threw my fear
-away.
