My mistake

A poem about life

I was scared
that they would not like me
so I hid behind a mask
when I wanted to come out
I could not it was stuck, my mask
and to this very day
I hide behind my mask
waiting
until it is soft enough
soft enough to remove
I might wait one thousand years
and If I must, I will, If it means that I can escape
and I can finally be free.
