The Mask

Pause.

Breath.

Steady yourself.

You've been pushed into something,

You don't know how to handle.

You've been thrust into a mixture,

That could use some stirring.

Pause.

Wait.

Catch your breath.

You know how to control this,

You know what you want.

Be sure to show them,

You aren't as weak as they think.

Pause.

Steady.

Wait for a minute.

You can pull through this,

You know what to do.

You know their weakness,

And you see right through,

The mask.
