The Mask

The Mask

A Poem by Richard Mueller
"

A Mask Is All Anyone Needs

"
Suffering in your skin 
Wallowing in your sin 
Living behind a grin 
So far gone 

Simply a mask for what is real 
So no one knows what you actually feel 
But what if they wanted the mask to peel 
And it will dawn on them 

Will they look at you a monster just for wanting to hide? 
Will they wonder if it was because of your immense pride? 
The more questions they ask, the more you will die on the inside 
And to the shadows you will likely condemn
