Intensity Unmatched
Helpless
I see masks being peeled off revealing hollowness beneath confidence crumbling to fall in heaps on slithering ground I hear insides screaming on being scooped out but getting cleaned up in the process I feel the helplessness on being sucked into quicksand of life (44 words) Quadrille #64

Paragraphs I am a special mirror. People move through it, leaving reflections of their psyche. The inventor who created me committed an error.

They used weapons to reveal the real me. But, it was not the mask I wore so the weapons left me wounded with scars on my face.
Then I realized, we need a mask to survive, even the snail uses a shell to hide. So now even I wear it, even I change colors, even the real me prefers to hide inside..the only reason is even I have to survive.
