vanishing within the mask.
Fooling the reflection watching me
fooling others that pass me.
Sinking deeper in the shadows.
Quiet as a mouse, you can not hear me.
It makes no difference, trying this, trying that
makes no difference.
Half-expecting someone to see me
to see my dark brown eyes
to hear my voice
to feel my touch,
but they just walk away. As my image fades.
This mask is my new face.
My old face trapped inside, lost even to me.
In the mask
try to cover up my pain
No, I still feel lonely.
Still hiding
Still fading away.
