Sheep: Yeah, this is a dark poem based on a Yugioh character. BUT I'm not going to say who it is. I'll tell you that later. Muahahaha... BUT! That doesn't stop all of you pretty readers to guess who it is!

~*~

I go through life
Behind a mask
Behind a shield
That protects me from others
And their own cruel selves.
I sometimes make them believe
That my mask has come off
But the face underneath is just another mask.

Masks and masks
Of pride,
Of ruthlessness,
Of anger,
Of indifference.
These masks I wear in front of everyone
Including those I love.
I simply wear different ones
For different people.

No one knows
What I look like.
No one knows
Who I truly am.
No one.
Not even me.

Mask after mask,
I peel them off
But I never see
Who I am.
So many masks
So much deceit
To everyone
And to myself.
So many...

I look at my reflection
And a stranger stares back.
The masks are gone.
This is who I am?
No.
That is just another mask.
When all the masks are truly gone,
I look again.
I still see a stranger.

A stranger that I barely know.
A stranger who's almost dead.

A stranger that is I.

Sheep: So? Who do you think it is? You could e-mail me your guesses... or you can just put them in your reviews! Even better! *Goes off to munch on some grass… uh, gum*
