Masks

Masks

A Poem by Estelle
"

You 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
