Victim.

I want to make a mask.

With two eyes, one nose, and no mouth

I want to make it a tangible memory

Using this face that I control

If I could just get the eyes right

They would know what I've seen

If the nose stands up straight

They will know I did not break

But the mouth

If they can't find it

They will know how I felt

Unable to speak out

If I make this memory into a mask

Then maybe

I can learn to let go
