Mask

Folder: 
Soul Poetry

Disguise,
alias,
incognito-
call it what you will

but its behind
her mask
she feels safest
where admittance is rare

her barrier
impenetrable
by those
who would choose
to wound her...

again.

No one gets in
she can't get out
her choice

her only means
of self-perseverance

the mask
hides the tears
the masquerade
hides the hurt.
