About the Poem
This poem I wrote came to me at a very difficult time in my life. And these feelings that come across still exist in me. I think everyone questions whether or not they can show themselves, and this is why I wrote this.

I reallllllllllllllllllllllly love this poem. It is the closest explaination to exactly who i am. It is strange that a stranger knows me to the tee, almost better than myself. This poem is now officially my favourite poem and will be the key others use to understand me, where i'm from and where i'm going. This is beyond deep!I luv it!

The Mask |
| by Wolfgirl |
|
A mask of plastic happiness often covers her sadness Her beliefs hidden from most Afraid of, but willing to face the unknown Wondering where her place is in this life She has come close to sharing herself Never completely revealing anything to anyone Feelings of invisible chains corner her When she dreams, reality shatters before her very eyes Accomplishments she strives for just at hands grasp She feels lost sometimes, not yet finding her notch in this world At times the glimmer in her calm eyes slowly disappears But within her heart a silent flame burns her inside and out She roams day by day, playing roles Strength unknowingly resides in her History repeats itself once again The translucent veil she so proudly wears Little by little answers will come, pushing it aside One day there will be no more mask for her to wear One day her beliefs will be known One day she'll know her place in this life One day she will share herself ONE DAY this mask will be NO MORE |

This poem really touched my heart in a deep way. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one wearing a mask. Thank you for your poem.

This poem really reflects me, and i'm sure, many other people. to wear this mask i am a liar and a pretender, but to not wear it i have become a "monster" to people, and even myself. really, when do we get ever get to hide out of our own masks?

You don't know just how much this poem touched my heart. I can relate to its every word, the hidden despair and the hope for the future. It really is touching and I am sure others can find such meaning in it as well, no matter what the situation.
