Over 35 years of masking

After over 35 years of masking, I don’t know who I am. I crafted what is probably a partially false persona to grow into and I don’t know who I would be if I had never done that. I still have a deep-rooted fear of learning something about myself that wrecks me, and I think I may be somehow terrified of finding that I’m really just someone I hate underneath everything. Or finding something that just plain hurts.

Choose to never feel this way?

“I can choose to never feel this way ever again
With some courage and patience”

I wrote that yesterday
Seeing it now, a day later
It doesn’t mean quite the same thing anymore

24 hours can shift one’s perspective

Maybe tomorrow
It will mean something a little different again
