Mask
I dare never to question the virtue you teach
Even if the contradiction were glaring like spilled ink in parchment papers
Yet I wear a mask to please her
Never to go against the moral authority you so spew in her name with poison honey
To know my place if my fears become reality one day
To be the light to all mortals who’ll look up
To provide everyone miracles
Yet I found my own light no thank to you
I share it with whom you’ve said would strike me with their venom
Only to find solace with like the constellations in the night sky
But your teachings consume me like the flood she casted
I cling to the mask as to not displease you still
Even if whom I share the light show no judgement
Still that fear suffocates me no matter how much I fight it off
Despite it all, I seek towards my light like a forbidden fruit
When they give more security than the side that self-proclaim righteousness
Yet still I wear the façade to hide my truth
But to my light I can let down the mask and show my true side
And to that I can finally say I’m grateful for
Grateful to have my light that grant me warmth and love
My light that I want to spend eternity with
But the fear still looms over like a persistent fly
Still follows as an reminder of my place
So still I hold the mask so close to me and build back the wall to protect them
Despite my yearn—
No
Despite my burning for them that ignited inside me like my very sword
I still want to protect my light no matter the cost
I’ll go back with my mask locked on me without a key
With no voice to sound my objections
With no hesitation
Even if it means I have to cast away my light
I’ll go just for their security
Please don’t snuff out my light
I pray to you
Please heaven. Hell. Somebody. That’s all I ask of you.
