Mask

During the day she wears a mask

To hide everything she doesn't want others to see.

She does not want to be seen as weak. Everyday she is brave and fakes a smile for others.

For she does not want them to worry about her.

Her tattooed smile seems so genuine, she sometimes believes it's a real smile, but no she's just mastered the art of being an eccedentesiast.

Her favorite time of day is at night when she gets home, for its only then that she can take off the mask and not worry about pleasing others.

She then heads to the kitchen to pour herself a drink... Or maybe two, who knows, she normally loses count after 5.

It's the way she drowns her demons and copes with the day.

She passes out wherever her head hits first, then wakes up the next morning and does it all over again.
