I wonder when
my mask became my identity.
I wonder when
I first forgot how to stop pretending,
for even when I’m alone in my room,
on the verge
of losing it,
my painted smile remains,
and the more that I can
feel myself
deteriorate,
the more permanent
it becomes,
until I
am nothing but a vessel
upon which
a disguise lies.

—  V.I.P.P.
