RECCANTI

I came to an important realization recently

My face...

Isn't my _real_ face

It's like a mask, a layer on top of my true face

I noticed it a few days ago

My head felt heavy, and there was a tightness around my forehead, nose, and mouth

"why would my body suddenly so feel so foreign?"

That's when I knew there was something strangling my real face.

And it became impossible to ignore

I couldn't breathe, everything felt so stuffy

The worst, though, was the eyes.

It felt like there was a film over them, like the world was blurred.

But it's okay

I'm taking care of this tonight

No matter what it takes, I'm getting this fake face off

And when I'm done...

I'll see the world as I was always meant to
