Hey guys…so unfortunately, I have some bad news. I'm not allowed to do any writing all summer long, which means I won't be able to update all summer. I'm sorry. My mom wants to help me with my writing so, she's keeping me from writing all summer and has me on this reading list of all kinds of different genres and writing styles and after I read something I have to report on it. Anyway, bottom line is, as I said I won't be able to update for a long time. It's only been like two weeks and I'm already struggling with wanting to write. However I do have a poem I wrote, my last piece of work before I was cut off. I will most likely be using it in future chapters of this fanfic, I'll either have to tweak it to fit the characters more specifically or only use parts of it, but at this point I am planning on using it to some degree. Also, I would still love for you guys to review, tell me what your fav part of the story has been so far and why, or give suggestions to where I should go from here, whatever it is, reviews really would be appreciated.
Alright here's the poem
The Mask
My dear, there's something I really need to tell you
Be careful of that mask you have
I know you think its fine
That it's better
Than facing all that pain and brokenness
Once the storms pass
Then you'll take it off
But I know the truth
And It's killing me to see you this way
You see it's really so much more than that
Something so easy to put on
Can be hard to take off
I know you're afraid that it'll crack
And someone might see through it
And that you just might lose your grip and lose everything
But hun, that's not the worst of it
You're so busy keeping strong
That you can't even see
That it's taken over you
Beware the mask and all its power
Less you become its newest victim
For what you see is what you get
When pretending becomes a lifestyle
And the mask is all you know
And when you start to wonder why
The person in the mirror
Is so completely unfamiliar
It's too late
The battles done and over
Now all that's left are consequences
How long can you keep it up?
You start to ask
How many fake smiles are left
How many time can I laugh without feeling joy
When can I set aside this mask and be done
When can I be free again
But the truth is that mask ain't never coming off
You put it on yourself, and yeah you weathered the storm
And now that mask is here to stay and no one knows who you are anymore
Is it worth it?
To spend eternity
As someone as some else
Just to get through another day
I could say a hundred words
And cry a thousand tears
To try and show you how beautiful you are
To tell you that you path your going down isn't going to give you what you want
But in the end the choice is yours.
And all I can do, is tell you, how you were meant for better things
and do my best to warn you
Of all the dangers inside that mask you're holding in your hands
Well, hope you guys liked it, with that, I must say goodbye for now! See you again once summer is over!
