My Mask
I wear a mask
so nobody will see
what lies behind
my eyes.
I live in a semblance of
normality,
but reality plays tricks,
pretence is the lie I live.
My ever changing facade
reveals what I want the world
to see
to understand.
But itβs not me.
Precious few know me,
or see me in all my
weakness,
because I hide
that which would frighten.
Itβs easier to exist
in a world where expectations
are met,
and I can be the man
they want me to be.
So here I am.
I look just like you.
Just please donβt try
to remove my mask.
