it presses so tightly against my face, at this point i can barely breathe
this is what happens when you spend your whole life holding back and you never release
this layer of protection is starting to feel a bit more like pressure
this armour that i’ve got on won’t protect me forever
the tension is becoming unbearable
this mask is becoming unwearable
years and years of holding back
one too many panic attacks
the elastic band is about to snap
i’m about to collapse…
what am i supposed to do about that?
do i suffocate in silence, or do i tear off this mask?
do i let pride **** me, or do i just show you who i am?
