In the middle of a confrontation my mask fell off. I'm not sure how long its been off but its off. I looked down at my fallen foe and then turned to my left. I saw Innocence standing there on the corner. Tears welling in her eyes, almost begging to wake up from her dark dream. "I'm sorry, my mask came off." I said to her. She turned and ran down the street. How can I make her understand that I am still the one she looks up to and loves. "I'm sorry my mask came off," I cry out but to no one. I walk upon the body of my fallen foe and asked him why he took my mask off. He says " So the world can see how ugly you truely are. To see that you are no better than the next man. Full of flaws and just as much confusion, hate, and fear as everyone else. You are no hero, you nothing more than a delusional man who wears a mask. To hide his face not from the world but to hide is face from himself." Looking down to where my mask lies I cry for he speaks partial truthes. Yes I am a man and yes I make misstakes. There are days were I find it difficult to look upon my reflection. But I do not wear my mask to hide from myself the world, but to add a layer of covering so that I may do battle and suffer little damage. I'm sorry Innocence that my mask came off, I am still the same man, I am still the same Hero, I am still the same friend, I am still me....
