Notice of absence from Vanna
I come and go. Sometimes I will post everyday for a week and then I won’t post for months.
I come and go. Sometimes I will post everyday for a week and then I won’t post for months.
I always wear a mask of happiness so people don’t worry, so people don’t look at me with pity, so people don’t treat me like glass that could shatter at any minute, so people can’t use my pain against me.
But as soon as I am alone, the mask slips off, and all that is left is a hollow chest with dull aches, a broken and burnt heart, and thoughts that keep me up at night, sending tremors through my chest.
I wear this mask so I can be loved someday. I wear this mask to protect the people I care about from worrying. I wear this mask to protect me.

We all wear masks much of the time and this poem speak of this to protect others as well as oneself. A write about a behavior that is common for us in social situations. Nicely done
Thank you
Twin I’m here for you 🫰🫰
Thank you
the more sensitive you are, the more you tend to suffer; so maybe your mask of indifference is making its mark..
However my face always reveals whatever I am feeling at the moment..so sometimes its good, and at others embarrassing...
