Why is this so hard?
Grappling with the concept of my identity everyday.
How can you (tell?) the difference between the identity you wear around certain people and the one you have for yourself?
When you take off th mask you are so confused because youve been hiding behind this mask for soo long that when it gets to come off- even for a moment, you are so confused.
You’re confused because you’ve been hiding for soo long you, yourself can‘t even find it.

This was so relatable. We lose ourselves more the longer the mask is on. Loved your poem!
Good read! My name is Samuel would love if we could support each other’s artistic journey! 📝
Interesting work! 👏 Many people are different around certain people..sometimes people be that way as the other person brings something out in you, sometimes it’s about fitting in, work etc, yet it sure is a tricky balance to strike. Thank you for this thoughtful piece.
