Poems from Mariposa

A mask
No you may not look into my eyes

Covered by living flesh resides a hope slowly perishing...
Darkness slides around my thoughts
Surrounds my bravery
Ties down my mind

Who I desire is not who I am but who I'm meant to be
Secrets that weigh me and sin that dismays me
I'm caught in a game and the battle is...
