The Masks

Once upon a time there was a girl that didn't have a clue who she was or what she was created for. She knew how people saw her, for the most part. But she knew she was someone completely different then how they saw her. Would she be accepted if they really saw who she was.

She decided it was time to take off the mask. She was nervous and worried about how different things would be now that people could see the real her. She carefully took it off. She was shocked to find there was one underneath it. Then she took a deep breath and took off that one. Guess what? Another mask. This went on and on for hours, days, months and years. How did she ever get so many masks? She finally got to the point where she realized that she had the last mask in her hand. She took it off with her eyes closed. She took a deep breath and slowly opened them.

Who's reflection was this in the mirror looking back at her. She didn't recognize her. She didn't know who it was. She didn't even really like the reflection looking back at her. She decided to put on one of the masks that were laying around her. The mask that felt the most comfortable. Perhaps she would take that mask off one day for good. Now just didn't feel like the right time.
