Mask
Location
Hello?
My heart screams.
I'm here, behind this mask.
Take your time,
get to know me.
Get to know me.
I love the birds and the clouds and the sea.
I want to be wild, untamed,
I'm a free little thing.
So why then,
as my heart runs free
and dreams of towns and cities
art to see, music to hear,
why am I stuck here?
Why do I shy away,
behind these bars
in this cage of expectations,
when I'd rather be running?
Take me,
cut me open
look at my heart
see my heart
But I'm too scared for you to see me
with no filter.
