IM SCARED UNDER THIS MAKE UP #nofilter


Who am I under this make up?

I am scared. Life cant be scarier. 

Death cant be scarier. People cant be scarier.

The world is scary and full of scary things.

The future. The past. The present.

The dark. Love. Anger. Embarrassment. 

Under this make up I am still unsafe.

But with this make up I can move on and forget why im so scared.

While wearing that make up I can feel less scared and more alive. 

I can move on in life, forget for a second that I am scared. 

Im tired with the make on. I am hiding myself under it.

Maybe one day without this make up wont hurt me..

Maybe I dont need to be scared anymore..
