STORY STARTER

Write a poem that includes this line:

'The mask is slipping'.

Borrowed Eyes

The mask is slipping, showing memories,

revealing pieces no one sees.

Drown the sound of my last cries,

lost inside these borrowed eyes.


The weight of silence pulls me low,

a truth too sharp to let them know.

Behind the shadows, no ones tries

to see the pain these walls disguise.


Each day repeats, the same dull pain

a circle walked no escape, no gain

I wither slowly, strength won't mend

I wish for nothing-only the end.


And so at last my story ends,

a shadow fading into the rain.

No final plea, no voice to send,

just silence left to hold the pain.
