Faceless

I don't want to be just another face in the crowd.

I don't know why I try and hide inside myself.

I seek to try and find my own identity again.

On my worst days,

I feel invisible even when I'm not.

I want to inspire people with my scars.

I want to let myself write about them.

Open them back up,

And let it bleed out all over the pages of my story.

A story that I know quite well.

A part that I played.

A role I performed.

My stories would hurt the ones I love most.

I don't have this desire to remain faceless or lost.

Even when I feel as if every shred of my identity is gone,

I still push myself forward,

Because I know I have a story worth writing about.

I have stories worth sharing deep down inside this heart of mine.

As I try to find my peace inside myself again,

Through all these written words that I write.

Even if I remain faceless behind this mask.

We all have a role to play.

In the stories of our lives.
