Masquerade

Shards of glass lay around glistening a small sharp piece catches my eye

fearfully with caution I pick up the glass

I see my distortion

I begin to cry

I see the beast inside of me

great destruction

it’s taking over me

helplessly I long to be the person that you want me to be

I’m not the monster you think I am

It’s not a mystery

but
humanity

I am only as truthful as I can be

So

I’ll ask you honestly

take this mask away from me

I’m not the monster you think I am
It’s not a mystery
but
humanity
I am only as truthful as I can be
So
I’ll ask you honestly
take this mask away from me


I SO LOVED this part of your write, I can feel the emotions throughout this.
