Cover Up

Written 5/25/15 I'll block the world out While I'm shutting down too.

Long ago
I buried a mask
That I once wore,
In a grave
Filled with my previous self.

However tonight;
I'm digging that grave site up,
Grabbing that mask
And replacing it back upon my exterior.

If I cannot physically
Run away and disappear
I'll go back to hiding behind
That same facade I once knew.

I'll block the world out
While I'm shutting down too.

Cover up
The ugly.
Cover up
The sad.
Cover up
The chaos.
Cover up

With lies of glad.
[End]

wow,,,this is so sad and i can feel it in every word that you wrote. It is however a brilliant write and awesome use of metaphor, The mask to hide behind so no one sees what is really going on behind it!!
Fantastic write my girlie!
