Beautiful Mask

Beautiful Mask

A Poem by yuhee
"

In this world dictated by faces, are you the real you or just a mask?

"

Look at me

Look at me

What do you see?

Am I who I am or not?

All the people who loves me

Are the same people who really don’t

 

Look at me

Look at me

What do you see?

Looking in my eyes

Do you see a real person or just a lie?

 

In this world dictated by faces

I already forgotten the real me

Do I have to paint it more?

Or just let this beautiful mask burn into ashes?

 

Look at me

Look at me

What do you see?

Reflecting in that eyes of yours

Is that truly I am?

 

Look at me

Look at me

What do you see?

Beneath this mask is an ugly face

I kept hidden away

This is the person I truly was

 

In this world dictated by faces

I finally remembered who I am

Taking off this deceiving mask

Look, this is the real me

 

Look at me

Look at me

Now that you see

Would you still love me?

All that I am are just lies

Would you still be with me?

 

Look at me

Look at me

Now that you see

Are you going to turn away?

The me who only wanted to be loved

Are you going to shun me?

 

In this world dictated by faces

I threw away the ugly me

Wearing this beautiful mask once more

I’ll continue to be that person that wasn’t really me

I think everyone wears a mask to hide their imperfections. I love the last stanza, it's so powerful!
