9. The Mask

#11

– Facing the Heart

In between the bouts of quiet desperation I wear the mask.The mask says,

That I am confident, tolerant and unafraid.

It says,

That I am strong of mind and body and I have no pain.

The mask says,

I am not lonely and I need no one for care and comfort.

It says,

I have an abundance of love in which to give the world,

And it is acceptable for that same world not to give me love in return.

The mask says,

That I can tackle any challenge alone,

And I do not need a hand to hold or a form to lean on.

The mask,

I thank it every day for protecting all of those I hold so dear.

And in the moments of quiet desperation I curse its existence,

For because of its presence,

I am so all alone.
