Colton, I've written a piece with a similar theme, and that is this: I believe we all wear masks at times to get through life unscathed. We can't just open ourselves bare to everyone until it's determined whether to trust or not. I like how you lead each stanza with the line, "I'll tell you, because I can..." Repeating a line in this manner can serve to place emphasis where you wish it to be, to highlight the points that matter to you most in your poem. A very well-written piece, my friend. take care...dan

The same notion you just depicted for me is what led me to write this. We all have our masks, interestingly enough whoever, it is what lies beneath them that makes up who we truly are, yet we still wear them. Thank you so much for the kind words and support Dan, and thanks for reading as always!
We definitely all have our masks my friend. Love the concept... great work!

The concept of this poem was really spectacular. There were some parts, however, that didn't seem to flow with the rest of the work; it sort of threw me off regarding the flow of the piece. Overall, well done.

I probably should have revised this work one more time but I wanted to go ahead and post it on here because I am moving into a new season in my life, so to speak, and I wanted to stop working on some things and start working on some others...if that makes sense lol. Thanks for giving this a read!

I believe we all have a mask and wear it more often than we should. It can be refreshing from time to time to reveal what is behind it. I'm glad you liked this one, thanks for reading!
Good question. Really well written poem. I guess, we all have our own masks, some cover more of our face, some cover less. But we all take them off from time to time. Yeah, sometimes we feel more comfortable wearing a mask, sometimes we have to. A really nice write. 100 points from me. Keep it coming.

I believe we all have a mask, and I bleieve we wear it more times than we think. Sometimes it can be refreshing to reveal what is behind said mask. But boy is that mask ever so tempting to wear more than we should. Thanks for reading, hope all is well!
