MaskA Poem by Michelle LimPretense. Facades. So many names, so many identities..what is it that makes us this way?
A multi-faceted persona, a deceptive visage,
Worn by countless many, unimaginable numbers, Losing, sacrificing their personal identity - A part of themselves, a part of their heart. Motivation born of fear - fear of rejection, Fear of getting hurt and disliked for being who they really are, who they really want to be Makes them strive to be who they aren't, to hide Behind their carefully-crafted masks. Wanting to fit in, to have a place of belonging, Endless reasons, endless excuses there are For having and keeping up their masks Though mostly born out of fear, born out of the past. The stars wonder, if there would ever be a day Where they would put their heart outs out to lay Discarding the deception, the false visage And reveal themselves inside, wonderfully made.
