My screams filled the empty palace.
I screamed.
Shrieked.
Cried
No one came.
As always
I was alone.
The droids were no help.
I grasped my mask.
I pulled
The pain
Oh the pain
It was extreme
I pulled
And pulled
And pulled
It did not come off
It never did.
I wanted to rip my body apart
Take off these metal limbs
These senseless plates of steel
And this torturous mask
It was the mask
It made everything terrible.
Nothing was mine anymore.
He could not see the world
With his own eyes
It was fake
Everything was
I tugged at my limbs
I wanted them to come off
I screamed
I wanted to disappear from this enslavement
Get my own life back.
I tugged
And tugged
And tugged
It never worked.
I glanced at the sabers
I could end this.
Now
At this moment
Forever
I could disappear.
I would see Kummar again.
We would hunt
Like before
Never disturbed
Just her and me
I grabbed my mask once again.
I pulled like never before
The mask cracked
It ripped
And flew off
I collapsed.
I was fading
Fast
The mask sustained me
Before closing my eyes
I smiled
That I could see the world again undisturbed
I would be free once more
To be myself
The pain stopped
And I faded into darkness
