I am
Nathalie Gonzalez
I am important
I am worthy
Because I am life
My Mask
With my eyes closed and smile fading
My mask awakens
To blend in with others and be hidden in the process
Causing me to be bewildered by my identity, I ask the only question that holds such significance:
Is the mask I wear every day truly me or what others want me to be?
Night
Why is it that I am forced to live in the life you create at night?
The never-ending terror and your puzzling smiles
The empty threats and unforgettable screams
Is this for fun or is it your undying want to be seen?
Because in the night
I can see it all
