Unfeeling only masks

Belief that feeling nothing is better than feeling at all

Donning a mask shield me from punishment and hurt

The walls built make it almost impossible for anyone to climb around

But what of the good ones?

When a joke makes you laugh so hard you fall off your seat in abundant joy

The excitement in your eyes when you find someone with common interests

And how bittersweet loving another is, so deep you don't know where the lines intertwine

Take it off, let it burn away

let me in
