Masked

I hide my true self in these lines.
My love is more written than spoken.
I know what I want.
But I can't afford to say it out loud.
I am living a lie.
I am masked.

Sometimes, it is difficult to express yourself- out loud. Words reveal so much about who you are. Those that are *written* down. You are not hiding behind a mask, you are comfortable being expressive through lines of poetry. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Brandy
