The Mask I Live

How do you distinguish between what is in front of or behind the curtain? 

 

My mask is one of pure happiness. Strength. Resilience.

 

There's chaos:

I am happy

I am strong

I am resilient

 

I fake it 'til I make it

A am those things but they are also my mask, just for a while

 

I lie to my self every day.

 

My soul is wrenched but I laugh it off

I am weak but I become strong

I am vulnerable but I eventually snap back.

 

I am happy

I am strong 

I am resilient
