breaking down

I wear a mask so that I can feel safe looking at you

I know you see me thorough it

Twirling in place revolving around myself

exposing a new mask broken and untied

falling from my face it is my own skin

no one will ever see anything below

broken bones and bleeding veins are all that lie beneath this mask

this image you all hold so strongly is really nothing now

the face I once was is forever nothing inside the palms of my laughing hands looking upon the structure from which it fell

bones and flesh mean nothing without eyes

feeling hurts
