I sit here and I type
I share my fears
my hopes my dreams
my inner secrets on the screen
I have no mask
this is my cupboard bare.
I share my nightmares
my struggles within
the beast who haunts me
and shadows that lurk
I have a mask
that conceals this cupboard
it keeps me safe
I have me myself and I
finding trust in self
I can share myself with you
I can share myself with another
I have a mask
is it friend or foe
shall I take it off
A fire burns before me
I choose to be here
I step into my fear
I step into the fire
let it consume me
transform
Choosing to live in a place within me
where no masks are needed.
