My mask is breaking
I'm not sure how to put this into words.
I wear this mask every day, it not only protects me from others, but also protects others from me. I try to pretend that I'm doing OK even if I'm not. I guess I hope that if I pretend long enough that eventually it will become a reality. After 20 years I'm still waiting. Right now though, I can feel that mask breaking. I don't know what to do. I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm frightened and I feel so alone. I have to find a way to glue my mask back together....and fast. Each day seems to last forever when all I really want is to have them pass quickly. I'm not living, I'm just existing. I'm not sure how long I can hold up this facade though. I can feel it from deep inside. Things aren't good.
