Book covers


You say you know me. 

But you really don't. 

Because if you did you would walk away like everyone else. 

I hide my true self in a shell for a reason. 

So I no longer feel the pain of anyone else leaving. 

The pain of becoming attached and having them walk out of your life. 

All because of who I really am. 

This mask. 

It's just a cover. 

The outside of a story that has yet to be told. 

So don't say you really know me.

Because I don't even know myself....
