Why do I wear this mask...

I stand
before a mirror,
it's nothing special...just a mirror on the wall.
Yet there's more to this reflection after all.

'Cause when
I stand,
I am not there.

Sure, it's me
jeans, a shirt,
kind of short hair.
But something's missing.
Something's not there.

Or maybe,
something extra,
an unnecessary burden,
is there.

I can't breathe as well,
I can't see as well,
I can't hear as well,
I can't feel as well,
I can't...
think...

What is this mask?
What is this lie?

Again, I write out of verse.
Again, I write freely.
So am I truly bound by a mask?
Or...
Could this be me?

As assassin shouldn't fall in love.

Ah the unanswered questions themselves are a burden to carry. I enjoyed reading this, and can't tell you how many times i've asked myself those very questions. If you ever need to talk my e-mail is on my profile.

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.
