The Mask
March 22, 2013
I just feel tired, tired of everything.
I’m tired of having to put a mask on my feelings.
I hid so that people don’t worry about me.
Because I don’t want them to.
But I’m tired of hiding.
I pushed my real feelings deep down inside,
And I forgot where they went.
Now I don’t have to remember because they came back.
They came back too fast though.
I tried to pull them up through a funnel, but it disappeared.
They just came rushing back, as if they were a tsunami.
