I feel safer hidden, safer unexposed.
It’s easier to wear a mask,
To hide my face, hide all emotions.
I am able to cry and have it come off as laughter.
I’m sitting in my room curled up
on my bed in so much pain
Why
I did everything right
I did what my doctors told me would
I ate my vegetables, my fruits, my carbs, my protein
I ate my fat
