History Is My Past

Published by Family Friend Poems September 2017 with permission of the Author.

What happened to me?
The mask I wear
Was never before there.
My emotions were here,
But now they're gone,
Lost forever.
The smile I wore before
Shone so bright;
Yet now as I smile,
There is no hint of light.
I laugh like the others,
As not to give them fright
And sit silently in the darkness
To mask myself before their sight.
I mourn at night,
As my past self comes in view
And wish to the stars
That I could rewind time.
