my masks feel like they're about to break again...
why don't I go to my other world to help myself a bit?
and no, i'm not crafting some crazy device to take me to some crazy dimension. 
i don't need to make one either.
because it's all in my head!


your confused?
( i mean, i would tell you about all of them, but they might expose who I am, so sorry!)
listening to music helps bring them to life
helps me pretend im them
helps me feel like im not in this cruel world
of things i don't like
it's like an escape


but when i look in the mirror
it all breaks
my character breaks
it all comes back 
the thoughts
my apperance
the version of me that dosen't match up to
my real self

and every time i look at myself
i feel like old photos of me
float around me
and when that happens
i feel like someone keeps taking pictures of me
smiling and being happy
and more floating photos add to the collection
but that's not how i feel
so when I give off a different expression
they stare at me weirdly
to some point that i want to destroy the camera
and then moving on to shatter the photos


but that wouldn't be me
right?
my masks will shatter like glass if that happens
and then they won't
know who i am without my masks


the only friends i have know almost how i act
but only i know the real self
the me that dosen't lie to anyone else about how I feel
because i'm me
because if your too honest
you'll either be yelled at about how your only a child and can't feel this way, or messages to stay in this useless life delusion, or other things.
after all, we are just other useless members of soceity
that wouldn't affect any other people's life or history whattsoever. 
and we just get the same fate as many people anyway
either live up to your parent's expectations, and become a lawyer or something
or be someone everyone uses you as a bad example for, and work at some fast food restaurant.

the problem is....i don't see a future for myself.
at least, i don't see myself existing any further than the point i am at now.
am i thinking wrong?
my parents trust me to get a good job and become the successful child and make everyone proud.
i can't let them down.
but i'm tired of being here at the same time.
 i can bet you...my five-year-old self who wanted to be a ballerina would look so disappointed after seeing how I turned out.

i know it's not too late to change things, however where do I start?
even if i tried, i would most likely go back to where i started.

what do i do?

it's ok.
i have my imaginary friends
they help a lot.
they don't do anything good, but nothing bad either.
they at least listen to me.
yes, my current friends do listen to me.
i can be more honest with my imaginary friends though.
