Reflection Choka
Time for a truly epic challenge. Write a Choka, a form of Japenese long poem. This is a group of lines of 5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-7 syllables. It doesn't have to rhyme. I'm giving it a theme of reflection. Enjoy the process.

Mask

I look back on life

In a world so sadly dark

Yet I reminisce

Despite my breakdowns

Strange looks from the bystanders

I blind myself now

Hiding from publicity

Embracing my true feelings

I become anew, unmasked
