The Mask We Must Wear

By Sanai

We are all shapeshifters
Twisting and turning our emotions

Don't feel, don't show
These are what we learned
All on societal terms

What do we get in return?

Each tear reduced to the excuse of the wind
Every cry for help silenced by your own hand

Being human has become a hazard
The simple task too hard to complete

Why are you still everywhere I look? Hiding in all the corners of my life. Creeping along the borders of my sanity, words I've wished to hear you speak spoken by strangers— words that could be easily said. You just chose silence instead.

Generally, Valentine's Day focuses on couples and things of that nature. However, it's easy to forget that you can show yourself love and those you care about. It doesn't have to be a romantic situation for you to feel special!!  I remember growing up, and every year on Valentine's Day, my mother would surprise my siblings and me with baskets filled with candy and gifts. It made us so very happy...
