"Youth has its drawbacks -- because we don't see enough of the world to know enough about ourselves when we're young. There's something to be said for innocence and optimism." ~ Steve Wagenseller

I am a masked magician.
With one swish of my wand,
My mask
Will alter.

One mask
For one occasion,
Rows and rows lined up,
Stacked,
In my heart.
Ready. Waiting.
To take the place
Of the last one. Each one

Determined

To hide what's underneath.
