Stripped

by reesea1997

Behind the mask

I have been stripped

Stripped away from all that was mine

I am just a plain face

Left out in the cold to wither away

My eyes fill with tears

I am a souless soul

My being has been stripped

Stripped from what was mine

My superiors have ripped my heart

Now I am nothing

Stripped
