I Try

I feel the eyes

of those who look to me

with admiration

adoration

affection

appreciation.

And I am trying.

I am fighting.

I am winning.

but also losing.

I try,

But I am broken.

I am scared

of failing them.

The vulnerability of the mask being pulled away can scare anybody. Being yourself is the best thing you can do. You owe them nothing and shouldn't feel like you do.
