Incredible actors.
That every student,
Staff,
Has a mask
They convince other actors
Isn’t there
And succeed.
Has no one thought
Maybe it’s not healthy?
Repressing emotions
Kills me.
Anyone else?
Maybe no one thought
Maybe it’s better
To lose the mask.
Would we not gain
More than we lose?
I’ll start.
I go home
And sleep.
I’m tired
F everything.
Sometimes,
When I’m awake,
I fight back tears
Of exhaustion.
My mask of steel
Is weighing me down
And I don’t know why
I feel I’m expected
To wear it.
Does anyone really know?
“It’s not professional.”
It’s not healthy, either.
Which is more important?
“I don’t want people
To ask questions.”
Then tell them
You don’t want to
Tell them.
