Mahider Fasika

Although almost fully disguised 
He feared all would see
The pain in his eyes
The fast beating of his chest
Although dressed similarly
He felt he different than the rest
To alleviate some stress
He wandered around the room
Took his eyes off himself
And raises it to the blue-
Masked lady
Whose eyes mirrored his
Blank and slightly hooded 
Staring into the abyss
Under his dark grey mask.

-Under his dark grey mask
