I'm going to do something just a little different...a little creative...a little challenging. These are not my photos, but photos I found on google images. But it represents what I see and feel inside.
In my life....I have had a lot abuse...physical, emotional, spiritual, & sexually. I have alot of nitemares. Many times, people who are severally abused or traumatized, they find a way to protect themselves mentally, physically and disassociate themselves to prevent emotional death.
All I know is that in my nightmares, I see someone on top of me...beating up on me. I'm not sure who it is. I'm not even sure if this person is the man beating on my mother (and she died from it); or if this is my dad beating up on me....or if this is me beating on myself. Who or whatever it is...they are faceless. It is easier to wear a mask and be shameless, then to reveal our true ugliness and pain.
Often...in my nitemares, I experience real physical and emotional pain, as known as nite terrors. I can't always see who is trying to hurt, or destroy me physically and mentally...but they still terrorized me on a daily basis. Probably why I still need so much therapy (LOL).
Like many people out there, I am the faceless person who likes to wear a mask, to cover up my feelings I keep hiding deep inside. It is easier to wear a mask than to express our true self. It is easier to wear a mask than to be rejected and abandoned by those whom we love.
