You followed your family home without a word
They were your safe haven
The rusted key to your cage

Yet...

Even to them, you only showed that beautiful mask

You waved at them, not daring to meet their eyes as you made your way to the bathroom

An exhausted sigh escaped your lips as you gazed at your reflection

You looked flawless, the perfect sculpture modeled from the finest marble

Even Leonardo would be envious if he saw you

Yet...

It tried to escape,
Threatening to tear your world down

Bringing your fist down hard on the marble countertop you made a promise to yourself to never let it win

Afterall, the world had only accepted the you which was carved from marble~
