The Mask

The Mask

A Poem by GetTheHellOut

Live the lie you like the most.

Today, tomorrow, forever.

The lie that makes you happy.

The lie that makes everyone happy.

 

Hide your face behind the mask

It has been made for you to wear.

It is the law, you shall obey,

and you should be wearing it everyday!

 

Don’t forget to put up a good show

Nothing pays off as much as a good applause.

Don’t forget to flash a smile

And remind everyone how beautiful you are.

 

Walking among the people with the masks.

Those people that can only lie.

Those people whom their real face I’ll never see.

Questioning what they hide behind those masks.

 

Questioning what I hide behind mine...

Very insightful. I find that this is very true...almost without fail. The trick is to find that one person with whom you don't have to wear it. Sometimes that's pretty hard to do...trust doesn't always come that easily. Nice work!

nice job on this one. Masks are oftem what people wear,because they think it will make them happy, and then they will complain of why they remain lonely and feeling discontentedly out of human touch...

nice that you have put this in to writing! you'll go far :)

This piece is very open and honest. I like the way you put it, I've felt the same way.
