Demasking
Here is one of the things I never dared tell youout of shame
I didn't want to believe that this was me
that I am doing this to myself
I am never myself
and being with you is like being more myself than I am with others
I never feel comfortable or at home in any situation and with anyone
not even my dear friends
I am always pretending a little
wearing some mask that they prefer
Lately I have just worn the same one
resignation
nodding and smiling
Nothing I say will change anything
it is all the same to them
But my mask must go
this deep, thick mask that has been poisoning me
this mask, this name
the behaviour and reactions that don't do justice to the concept and beautiful idea behind the name
I need to take it off
so I can become me
so I am no longer invisible
an enigma
