Hidden

by Jeanette - Aries

I am hiding now.
Hiding behind a wall of who
you
want me to be today.
Sometimes I feel
like a mirror
a fragile piece of glass
ready to shatter at any moment
pulled  by the
strain
of reflection.
This is all I am
a simple reflection of 
anyone
who has ever looked at me.
I used to be more.....
now, only carefully showing the 
pieces
you want to see
the parts that you can handle
Cracks appear in my
facade
and, I know that sometime
very soon
the real me
will escape and I will have to 
face her.
I am going to be
reintroduced
to myself.....
someone I no longer know
and my carefully constructed
masks
will be lost forever.
