The Mask

Posted by wildcard on January 10, 2006, at 9:47:04

I have been wearing my mask too long.
My face has become old and wrinkled and dry b/c I have not let it breathe deeply enough.
I thought I had life all figured out and all I had to do was wear my mask of knowledge and I would live and die successfully.
Then someone accused me of a mask of selfishness,
and I had to take off my mask of knowledge and put one on of self examination.
It was uncomfortable, so I put on a mask of insanity in order to look away.
The waters died down and I would wear a different mask from day to day, but I was generally complacent and waiting.
I wore intellectualism.
I wore drama.
I wore maturity.
I wore life of the party.
I wore submission.
I wore love.
Today I took off my mask and decided to breathe for a bit.
My face is flushed, not used to the excitement of life.
I must not remain here too long for I am not strong enough to keep my mask off very long.
But I am content to be naked for this morning, and I really don't feel like worrying about this afternoon when I must again don my mask. Until then...hello people.
I'm here,
and so are you.
Wow.

Thanks for being strong enough to take off your mask and sharing. You inspired me to take mine off a little bit.
