The Mask

I walk along the streets of the city with the rain pouring down the drains.

I pay no mind to the people that are around me.

They are the same, they all wear a mask.

Each one having a different emotion, each one having a different story, but everyone having the same use... to hide.

To hide from the pain, their past, the truth, the lies, to hide from everything.

I don't know these people, I don't need to.

All I need to know is myself.

...

...

...

What was myself?

...

Was it peaceful?

Or dreadful?

Did I care?

Was I happy?

Or sad?

Did I have any emotion?

...

That I wish to know.

...

What did I have to hide?

That I wish to remember.

...

But all of that is within my mask, not myself.

I don't know.. If I want to take off my mask.

Because no one's ever done it.

Everyone just likes to keep secrets.. as secrets.

They express themselves fakely.

That is what I dislike.

There is no trust anymore.

Not with anyone who wears a mask.

But as stated, everyone wears a mask.

...

They are the same, they all wear a mask.

Each one having a different emotion, each one having a different story, but everyone having the same use... to hide.

...

But what do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

What do I hide?

...

...

...

Myself.
