Masks

We all have something to hide

whether it's confessions

or deep down lies

secrets left to be untold

we all wear different masks

masks of truth and lies

or masks of faith and pride

are masks who we really are?

wearing it to fit in a crowd?

try to discover who you really are

let all those down and you will see

you can be anything you want to be

I loved the poem because it was so true. We all hide behind something for the day until we think no one is watching us, then we come out to see what the world would be like should we act like we are not who we wished we were. I love the peom and I can't wait for more. Keep it up ;)

very interesting! So would we all be masks within masks then? Can we change out one mask with another? Or let our true selves feel the sun?

lol mask within mask??? huh? lol :D
thanks:D

So true, some of us do hide ourselve, thinking that we are someone else to make us feel better, when we don't realize that we are who we are, we must accept that and put good use in it!
What a winderful lesson taught here! i loved it!

thanks :O mask ripped off? :O

Good poem. It brought back memories of a time in my life when I was trying to hide from the world after being in a destructive relationship. You are one talented girl.
Your poems makes me think that you had another life, one who grew up in my world with me. It is eerie.

i have lots and lots of masks...being shy and quiet, i guess i need to hide myself sometimes to make people listen to me. i don't like wearing masks at all, it's boring to become someone i'm not. Great poem. i relate too well on this:)
