An Empty Canvas
You don’t see me
The real person
Behind the mask
Not trying to
Delve deeper
Get to know
Who I truly am
You just use me
And then discard
As if I’m garbage
At your disposal
Tearing off ears
Gouging out eyes
And carving off
Nose and mouth
I am
An empty canvas
Create your own
Art
Out of my skin
Because
What you see
Isn’t what you get
