take off the mask

"Don't be fooled by me.

Don't be fooled by the face I wear

for I wear a mask, a thousand masks,

masks that I'm afraid to take off,

and none of them is me.

[..]That's why I frantically create a mask to hide behind,

a nonchalant sophisticated facade,

to help me pretend,

to shield me from the glance that knows.

But such a glance is precisely my salvation, my only hope,

and I know it.

That is, if it's followed by acceptance,

if it's followed by love.

It's the only thing that can liberate me from myself,

from my own self-built prison walls,

from the barriers I so painstakingly erect.

It's the only thing that will assure me

of what I can't assure myself,

that I'm really worth something.

But I don't tell you this. I don't dare to, I'm afraid to."

 

 

il coraggio di tutti i giorni è togliersi la maschera.

 

giocando a fare la fidanzata del coniglio nero di donnie darko, e con la doppia esposizione fasulla..

 

spero vi piaccia è qualcosa di diverso da ciò che faccio solitamente.
