Black Masquerade Poem by Ashhy Quebedeau

Hiding behind a black masquerade
always hiding yourself behind a black velvet hood
you hide your feelings to
everyone around you
thinking that no one cares about you

you walk around this lonely world
feeling like a zombie every waking
moment of your life
Not knowing who to run too
So you cut yourself to feel alive and to figure out who you are
for once in your life

Then one day there came a person
who saw through your black masquerade
and saw a brighter you
deep inside of all the black madness.

This person had help
bring down your black velvet hood
and show the whole world
who you are.
