The girl behind the curtain
Locations
Why?
People ask me that question all the time.
Why is the sky blue?
Why is there violence in the world?
Why are you hiding your feelings?
I tend to be in the shadows,
closed off from the world.
Nobody knows how I feel.
Why?
Because it's hard to pull back that curtain,
to let others see the real show.
Instead what they see is a mask,
floating about a sea of darkness.
Darkness that pulls me in and will continue to unless...
I pull back that curtain and let the light shine through.
The light that is me,
pure and kind.
I am tired of that curtain.
Sometimes I just need to click my heels together 3 times
and remember what is real.
