Masks

Been dealing with a lot lately and poetry has helped me vent some of what I'm feeling. I coped for many years in unhealthy ways. As a teen, Writing was a big passion. Here's another piece.

We hide behind so many mask

Unsure of any questions we should ask

The color, the symbolism, the design is not as important

Because what we feel is a huge assortment

We never really show our emotion

All we really worry about is loyalty and devotion

A mask for pain and hurt and confusion

I ask myself is life just a illusion?

We spend years trying to find our mate

Til death do us part, Til we reach the pearly gate

But what really do we hide behind our mask

That's a question you should really ask

We should take the time to understand each other

Sort our feelings and emotion, that's just all a clutter

But honestly that's something that we never give attention

When all is said and done is when we seek reflection

My advice to you is to take off those masks

In life and love you should explore and bask

Don't be afraid to ask and express yourself

Take all those mask and store them high on a shelf

Make sure it's a place where you could never return

Just live what you love, indulge in what you yearn

Author's Note

Don't mask what you feel. Find what's best to express yourself.
