The Mask
She longed for the days The days when she would be able to share To share everything All the pains. All the terrors. She wanted to share all these nightmares To share them with those she could trust The ones who wouldn't pity her The ones who wouldn't look at her As something corrupted As someone corrupted by the evil Living within the shadows of her past She longed for those days For she was growing weary ....... And so she puts on her mask Charging through life Seeking out the ones who she could trust As she clings to the hope that One day she'll walk proudly Along side the ones Without the mask. -Krista McCuistion.
