Creation of Lies

He felt it. The pieces of plastic and paper-mache building themselves around his face so they could hide the emotions he was not allowed to show. He knew that this would help in the long run so he allowed the mask to be fitted onto his face as he waited for his turn to audition.

When he entered the room he tried to calm his breaths when he saw the creatures before him. The ones who were going to judge his voice and decide whether or not he was fit handsome enough to have them as his fans. They stared at him with glaring glowing eyes as he took hold of the mic and closed his eyes to try and erase the monsters. The plastic masked hardened onto his face as his song started and he knew then that even if he lost, the mask was never coming off. His song continued and hoped that those listening would gain the power to see under the mask of lies that he now called his own and see the broken face underneath. Maybe the judges will cause the mask to fall down in a crumbled heap or maybe he'll be able to remove it on his own and stop living the lie he's created.
