(Poem) The Masks Beckon

And just like that I caved.
I couldn’t help it.
Every day the thoughts build up uncontrollably.

How can I resist what I’ve had such strong feelings for?

And just like that, I’m saddened.
Because I messed up.
I live with that every day.

Can I simply change who I am to be with who I want?

And there sat a box of masks.
I want to be real.
Every single day I wish to be me.

Can I not be happy how I am?
