Mask

 

I don a mask

A mask that shields me

A mask that hides the agony, the sorrow, and the utter disappointment

 

I don a mask

A mask that is carefully crafted

A mask that is accessorized with diplomacy, charm, and silence

 

I don a mask

Not to hide the truth, but to not let it carve me

The visceral emotion is tucked away

Ensconced in blandness

 

I don a mask

For that is what the world wants to see

I don a mask to hide my naked face
