I look through the mask at Her, smiling, dazzling and entertaining.. Drawing in everyone around Her, Her laugh true and pure. A chaotic scene of happiness and energy, although there was a stillness in Her chaos.
I saw Her everyday, jealous of Her energy, it seemed unattainable. Her skin feeling uncomfortable to be in, a fading smile... Thoughts of what it would be like to BE Her.
Quick to fix my mask, I hid. My heart beating to the sound of... "Are you okay?" Her face was blank, spaced out in the vast galaxy of possibilities. A quiet gasp... "Of course!" A laugh..
Her Mask Had Slipped.
