Masked Within

A mirrored apathy

In correspondence

To the hidden relics

Of tarnished memories.

Billowing in the winds of 

Uncertainty 

Lay the residual

Cracks of concrete

Drenched in the thick, black tar

Of old wounds

Past discrepancies

And insufferable mistakes

Time has now passed

But the pain still lingers on

In moments that replay

Constructing a never-ending loop

Of piercing images

Defining who I am

What I've become has been

Forged within masked

Hate

Deepening my scars

Both real and fake.

The internal tsunami

Has never ceased

The anxiety has only increased. 

And I have been broken
