Another one of my one shot from Hiei's point of view on who he is.
Enjoy!
Mask of Myself
Not many people realize I wear a mask. A fake image of myself. They don't see my real tears, my real smile, my real weakness, or my real happiness. I don't either, anymore.
The mask won't let them. I'm hollow because of it. I have been this way for far too long. It has eaten away my true self. The person I long for, my real self.
But I was long forgotten, faded from memory, leaving the fake mask behind.
Others may tell me to be myself but they don't understand this is all that is left of me. This is what I am, what I am used to, what is left. The cold, ruthless, silent, cynical, and distant person.
a mask that won't let me take charge. I'm caged within myself longing to feel free, a true free. Free to cry, to laugh, to be happy, to be content. I don't know how to describe those feelings or what they feel like but I know it exists. I can see it. I can sense it.
I won't ever feel it, not for a long time, probably never. I'm still trapped behind the mask of who everyone thinks I am.
Read and Review. Feel free to tell me what you think.
