Hidden identities by a mask
An elusive front
Almost blank ,flicker of emotions may pierce through the windows of your soul.
NO ....
Bring up the walls ,
Protect your self
Let the soul become cold as an early winter morning.
 
The mask is security , numbness fills his heart.
It is a need  one can't breathe without .
Leaving without is like a
face without makeup

Bare ,raw ,full of imperfection
 Vulnerability radiating like the first ray of sun piercing the once  night sky.

It is real ,it is beautiful.

It only slips off once and behind it is a bitter,cruel scared little person.

After a moment of weakness the mask slips back into place .

The mask wraps the insecurities ,bad habits,fears ,terror  in a clean  neat bow.

Teeth detached  and claws retracted.
Mask in place  the monster hides in plain sight
                      ................

Leaving only a shell of   perfection but hollowness on the inside.
