An Unapologetic Expression

twelve.

It was like he had read my mind

All the unspoken words that had danced on the tip of my tongue

Had finally reached its course

Projected aloud for everyone to hear

The key to my heart unlocked

Spilling out raw and repressed emotion

That I had tried so hard to hide

Everything had risen to the surface

I felt exposed

The mask falling

My feelings on public view

I could finally see that

I was broken glass being held together by bits of old tape

And that needed to change
