Behind The Mask

I cannot carry on like this,
not knowing if I will survive the pain another day,
but I also can't accept
that he will defeat me.

If this is living,
then I am failing fast,
and I want to be so much better than this,
I want to be the best that I can ever be.

I want to find myself,
so I can then be free.

I do not care what others see,
but I do care more about
what the world might never see
if I don't stop hiding
behind this mask protecting me.
