The mask i wear

i have been wearing a mask for awhile. ever since 9th grade. i only tell the friends who i trust that i show my true self. i been hurt emotionally to the point where i had no where to go. so i put on a mask to hide my tears and my problems. it was my burden that i carry. over years the mask does want to come off. i tried so much and it shows my past to me and i have go into despair. the mask consums me like a demon. i realized that i need to break free from my mask and rise. to show the world who i am really am instead of fake self. it's going to be hard to take it off, but it need to before it consums my soul and my whole body.
