Interpretation

I am a bear that feels abandoned although they are all close to me, I can only see masks, cannot tell the difference between truth and illusion, lost in this "reality" I try to break out and breathe, I am a bear in pain, a dead bear that is moving, I feel the end coming ... but I will not accept it!
