Poem: hmm.
which one shall i wear today? ive created such a collection.
do i want to be happy? i have that mask. underneath it im sad.
do i want to be loving? got that one too. underneath it i hate.
i try not to be like this i swear.
i want to become my masks. but everytime i try.. i outwear them.
they fade away. the true me is soon visible. hide me.
can you see my tears? i have a dry mask. where i force upon myself dry eyes.
new day.
new mask.
sometimes i dont even bother. mask after mask is exhausting.
why cant the real me just be good enough?
for you.
for me.
am i destined to cover up who i am?
when destinys fulfilled,what will become of me?
is there still a real me left behind the mask ?
do i have my own identity anymore?
happy mask.
sad mask.
so many more.
underneath each lies someone...
someone i once called myself
- who knew ?...
