&quot;We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields, and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender.&quot;<br /> -Winston Churchill


stutter behind a mask,
Hiding from myself.
In a dark room, I cower.
I stutter behind a mask,
          Hiding from myself.
Not accepting the person,
I am.
I stutter behind a mask,
As I try to perform.
But I can’t move freely,
From behind the mask
I stutter behind a mask,
Hiding from myself,
As I wish to myself
To be myself.
That is my deepest plea.
I stutter behind a mask,
Hiding from myself,
But I no longer need a mask.
A teacher has helped
Enough to let me take it off.
And I can be myself.
My teacher has helped me be myself.
I have taken off the mask.
