Unmask the mask
That forever hides my eyes
Let me see the truth
Protect me from the lies
Let me hear from the heart
Extinguish burning pain
Know that what I feel
Is not just felt in vain
Let me touch the softness
Pressed against the skin
But fears control all thoughts
Of never knowing again
Let me speak in tones of hush
Will you truly listen
Or am I out of place
Secluded in my own prison
Let me wash away the years
The ones I wish to erase
Replaced by, what, a memory
Of the beauty in your face
Unmask the mask I hide behind
For someday I'll no longer hide
But while the mask remains
All I do is cry

Somehow, I missed this comment.
Yes, unfortunately there is a lot of emotion in this, and it isn't the best kind right now...as you can obviously see and tell.
It all comes down to what was said before...I know I'll move on, at some point. For one day, at least I hope, something good will be sitting right before my eyes.
Your listening to me babble on and offering to be that ear has at least let me smile for a while tonight, and for this I truly thank you.
