It's a short poem I wrote about how I wear "mask" to hide who I really am.
There I am in the shadows, being someone else.

Ignoring who I am to be one of them.

Though I don't agree with anything they do.

I can't be myself for fear of being ousted.



Should I take I take off my mask, step out of the shadows and

into the light or should i keep

going against everything I've been taught, everything I believe in?



Is this nightmare real or all in my head?

If this nightmare is real will I ever be able to end it and be true to me?

Or will I just let it continue and be the person I never wanted to be?
