Shadow Mask
Demolished emotions, got them on a roll. 
 My heart still races as if I’m still running
 like before.  When I joined their table,
 their eyes told me to go.  And I did.  
 
 Now it’s me saying go away. Sometimes I want 
 someone to cry with; to scream at the world with.
 But instead, I cry for help inside.  In her fetal position, 
 I feel the real me deep in the space below.  
 Hoping to one day come out and introduce herself.
 
 Give shadow masks to those who refuse to be noticed;
 who want to be invisible.  Come on now, show us 
 your words of judgment.  Show us your hate 
 by mouth and hand.  Bring in another Judgment Day.
 Show me I can easily be broken.  You can watch 
 my true self spill out like a new born anything.
 Watch those shadow masked kids walk with me 
 by their side.  Watch our flock of sorrow float
 past your shoulders.
