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 love your poem and it is so true. Sometimes we have to put on a mask to keep from hurting others.

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?
Posted: Jun 20, 2008
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!

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:)
