Masked.
  Illusion
     is a strong word to define someone’s image, as far as being stable
  on
     Senses. Reactions. Moods. Feelings. Slipping into a new skin: fly or hit
  the
     rocks beneath, waiting to scrape & scuff at what you’ve acquainted to
  outside
  but hasn’t taken mold to your withered and abraded spirit, soon to be
  Ashes
     begging to be piece backed together, only to design a misconception
  of
     the mask I paint for myself each and every day of my life. Reaching into
  my
     depths that hold the shades and hues of what makes up my internal
  entity.
