Masks

The Poet,

a great writer,

moved by the life around him.

He wrote much,

about strife,

hardship,

love, and nature.

Though he could make

the words he wrote come to life,

The Poet never had it all.

He wrote wisdom,

yet acted foolishly.

He taught good in his works,

yet was evil at heart.

He wrote about love,

yet his mind had hate.

This he wrote about.

He made his paper come alive,

to teach the younger generation,

"Masks are hard to see through,

Everyone wears one."

I love the thoughts Ilerah... everyone does have a mask they hide behind at times. People live and make mistakes, make choices they aren't proud of but some may never see that side of them... only see the good and the mask they wear :) Awesome work I enjoyed the way you created this one :)
