Ah, my old mask
Worn and cracked from ears of use
Pieces chipped away from getting knocked around
Protector. Concealor. Cage.
You helped hide the hurt and the pain
Struggles of the deep
Too young did I find you
Hiding my true self from the world
Never allowing feelings to truly show
Keeping me from learning of
Struggle, pain, hate, love
Each moment with you, piling on the weight
Of lies, deceit, heartache
Aiding me in hurting so many
While my soul lies in wait
Finally breaking free! A new life to create
One of joy and beauty, truth and love
Too long was I in prison, dear friend
Hide me no more!
Love of self flows freely, thankful for each moment.
