Mask

I sit with a mask on my face,
The mask plays my role,
My role is played through my mask,
Am I anything without it?

I am more than a smile,
I am more than the body in front of you.

My truth gives me pain,
My mask hides the pain.
...

My mask is pulled from my face,
I am faced with blinding light.

Do I dwell or do I gain strength....
