Sabotage

My reflection wears a mask
Face painted to hide my tears
Camouflaging hidden fears
If anyone tries to get close
I shatter like a fallen flask
Killing all hopes

Sabotage felt like a me vs. me syndrome. I completely resonate with your poem. Thank you for sharing.

A poem reflecting inner pain and possibly insecurity with mask most of us wear...again good usage of words
