Observation
For as long as you can remember, you’ve guided others, giving until the line between sacrifice and self-loss has blurred. They took and took, leaving you hollow—except for the mask. Weathered, cracked, and shaped by duty, it remains when all else is gone. Not a disguise, but proof of what you’ve given, of what they could never take. You wear it not to hide but to endure. Let them take what they will—this, they cannot.
Replies by this mask
- What if the book is half way open not because it was being read but instead, it was being written?
- Rise from the sludge, clear the doubt, and claim what is yours. These lands, drenched in despair, spare no one. Look around— see those who have fallen, who failed. Is that your fate? If not for yourself, rise for your people. If not for yourself, rise
- Does the masquerade ever end?
Revision
No revisions needed. I just want to express my gratitude to Sam, Rachel, and the team for bringing the focus back to art.
