Hidden

A mask that we hide behind,

To escape this broken world,

Full of hate and envy.

A mask that shields our tears

And covers our smiles.

To escape from fights and wars,

And sacrifice love.

A mask we turn to,

Become someone new.

A mask to protect from failure,

And not communicate.

Ooh, this is a concept that I've been trying to put to words, I haven't succeeded very well though. A great idea, and I think you executed it beautifully.

Simple and delicate poem that delivers a powerful message, that's what I like to read. Good job!
