Hidden Behind...

my World has been off kilter lately~

something is different

and I can't quite put

my finger on it~

or if I do know

I'm just not

ready to

acknowledge

admit

or accept it.

instead,

every day

the Mask of Normalcy

gets put on

in the hopes that

if I wear it enough

I will grow used to it again

and things will go

back to the way

they are supposed to

and expected to be.

and if perhaps the Mask

would slip off just a little~

I hope no one

gets a quick peek

of the pure longing

for what is not mine to have

and the absolute vulnerablilty

that lies underneath.

The prompt for OSI this week is "masks" Please visit the site and see others' interpretation of this prompt.

As always...Have a wonderful week~~~
