when i took off one

there was another one

then

another one

and then

another one

it kept going

mask after mask

i could see the layers of me

detached

reattached

reattached

detached

color coded: blue and black

the lies i told

as a matter of fact

the fact of the matter

not very well intact

when i remove one

another awaits in the midst

ready to reveal itself

however i choose to do so

instinctfully or plastered

these smiles are not always

naturally captured

released

an emo-tional disaster

masking peace
