Behind the Curtain
Location
I like this mask because I can be me without the elements of society's judgemental mentality.
I like this mask because this mask has become me. I can be me while real me is just another cliche of society.
I am mundane but I can be the sun behind the curtain. I've learned that it's okay to smile as long as no one knows you're hurting.
I'm honestly quite certain
-that I've become a voice behind a wall, someone that no one knows at all, but it's okay because I don't even know who I am. I've poety upon poetry but I'm not even good enough to win a slam. I'm not good enough to deliver words that melt a heart or send anger piercing through like a poisinous dart.
It's okay to be me behind this mask. it's okay to project my voice and be so self-certain. But sadly I must disappear, when they open the curtain.
