MasksA Poem by EstelleYou said that you loved me, but can you handle the monster underneath?I have a mask that hides my face It keeps me hidden from view So nobody ever knows what I look like I keep it on because it's the only thing That will protect me and everyone else But, slowly the mask is taking over my life And I'm losing face My mask is like a Russian nesting doll There are so many layers to me And the last layer the worst of all The first layer to me is sinister, cold, and uncaring I spin lies covered in venom and hidden With false words and fake politeness Beneath that is the part of, me that is evil and bloodthirsty I bruise you, hurt you, and revel in it I hunger for you screams and pain But uncover that and you will see How broken I really am I huddle in the corner, drowning in depression Choking on my sobs and reaching for love I know I'll never get To hide these parts of me I use a mask with a face that's always smiling Laughing and giggling But someday my mask will crack And everyone will see how Pitiful and ugly I am on the inside Instead of bright and angelic I have a mask that hides my face And still I hang my head in disgrace I have a mask that hides my face And yet I still cloak myelf " my real self in shadows And lock myself in a cage And tighten the ropes that bind me I have a mask © 2014 Estelle |
