This Mask That I Wear

I may from time to time offer links to products or services on my blog. If you click those links, and make a purchase from them, I might get some money to take a vacation...and, by take a vacation, I mean hop on my bike and hit the open road {trails around my house} or maybe attend a movie if it's been a good month.  Thank you for contributing to my bliss!

This was written as a part of my journey with Jess Morrow’s Invincible Summer Writing eCourse in 2012.  I wanted to share it here with you now.

“We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.” ~André Berthiaume

maskAnother night at the ball
Pretending to be someone I’m not
I wish it could be different
Sometimes it’s all I’ve got

I try to take it off
The mask that I wear
Hiding from everything
But it’s more than I can bear

The mask, it feels so natural
Like it’s a part of my skin
Digging the hole deeper
Of this mess that I’m in

I cried and cried
I just want to be me
I tried and tried
I just want to be free

Alas, it’s not in the cards
For freedom is not there
It is who I am
This mask that I wear

About Michele

Michele Bergh is a teacher, a student and a lover of life. She is a healing artist who enjoys a variety of mediums and also has a few mad techie skills up her sleeves. By day she primarily does WordPress design and development and works with others to create a blissful life. By night, you'll find her behind a camera lens, on her bike, in a big comfy chair, cooking up a storm in her kitchen or sewing while listening to great music (probably from the 70s) on her ipod. Her greatest joy comes from living a orgasmic life by design.

    Michele loved it. I could relate entirely to this post.
    I am now 31. But for the first 25 years of my life…I had a mask…A mask I couldn’t get rid of no matter how much I wanted to. Those were the most bitter years of my life. I got married in 2008 and a year after I had decided enough was enough. I had to remove that mask because it was killing me. I DID. As the quote above rightly says…It did remove some or may be a lot of my own skin. It hurt for a while…But I was finally FREE TO BE ME. Free to be my authentic self and live life on my own terms alongside a husband who means the world to me.
    Thank you for this reminder Michele:)

    Everybody, one way or another, wears a mask.
