Today was very tiring. I had to do several things today, but, I feel bad. I made a joke during band, and Sean knew I was joking, but he stormed out. It was... surprising, nonetheless, but everyone was blaming me. I know it was my fault, but, I started to cry during that ten minute period. I felt bad that I was the one who caused that. But, I did meet my piano instructor.  She seems intriguing. I also met Frau Brand, the German teacher at Clovis High School, and the CHS GSA (Genders and Sexualities Alliance). Hopefully we'll do something with their GSA.

Poem #9

This 'Mask'.

It hides everything.

My true one.

My true feelings.

My thoughts.

It's all a facade.

This 'Mask' lets me do everything, 

Except hurt others.

It hides my past,

It hides my regrets

It hides EVERYTHING!

I wish I didn't choose,

This 'Mask' which is upon,

My face, mimicking the mask,

To make me believe,

"I'm ok, right?"
