Masked

A poem about the fear of opening up.

I'm hidden, protected
Behind a mask, perfected

They make me feel comfortable
I open up, I'm vulnerable
There's nothing protecting
From my own professing

My head aches
My body shakes
I stop, shut down
Emotions, not now

I'm hidden, protected
Behind a mask, perfected.
