I had a perfect life.
The adoring husband,
beautiful children,
Everything most people can only dream about.
But, if you're reading this,
It's all over,
The mask has fallen,
I've been found out.
Secrets have a way of coming out,
They claw at you,
threaten you,
Hold you, prisoner, in your own mind.
They keep you looking over your shoulder.
How long can you remain Anonymous?

You leave early, no matter where you’re off to, at least thirty minutes ahead of time, so you can sit in your favorite seat, the one at the window that lets you watch the world whizz by. The plateau of land, the clump of trees, until you’re engulfed in the underground. You clam up then, get lost in that head of yours. The dark makes you nervous. You wring your hands in your skirt.
Have you noticed how often you disregard the feeling in the pit of your stomach that eyes are on you as you scour the fresh produce aisle for the best potatoes, unblemished, so you can bake them with the skin on for supper? He likes it like that.
