Should I show anger? With a scowl on my face? My brows furrowed, pushing people away with disgrace. Or perhaps show kindness, with a fake smile and kind eyes. With a Laugh full of life but holding back tears and lies. Maybe today I'll show sadness, with grey storms in my mind, wanting to wrap my neck up, in a rope that's unkind. Some days I don't wear a mask, I attempt to be free, but I hate the way people point and stare, making me think "What's wrong with me?" I have too many masks, that I wear as my mind decays, but why do I feel so numb, today on my birthday?

Which mask today?

Sorry, I haven't been online in a while, life has been hell...and today more so than ever.
