Sense of Self

Story by Xandie on SoFurry

, , ,

Anyone who wears a mask over their true self should understand...


There is a voice inside myself

That no one else can hear

It shouts and screams all day through

Hoping to be heard.

There's also someone inside myself

That no one else can see

They run and jump hysterically

Trying to be seen.

This is the person I hide inside myself

To keep them safe from hurt

This person runs and jumps and screams

Pleading to be free.

Yes,

It's true

This person I harbor deep within myself

This person must be me.
