How I feel

Why does everyone have a mask they put on when they talk to you? I know I do, but why do we feel like we have to hide behind it just to nice?

You tell me I'm a nice person,

AFTER you yell about me to others.

 

You're always saying your there for me,

Then acting like you don't care.

 

I wish you'd take your damn mask off,

And met me face to face.

 

Because I'm pretty sure that that would put you in your place.

 

The masks we all wear,

Every day in life,

 

They only show scared you are,

to meet the worlds challenges.

 

So take off the mask and say 'HI' to people,

the people you pass all the time.

 

Cause you never know who they,

Because the mask keeps them locked up tight.

I don't care if it doesn't rhyme. I just wanted to get a point across.

Nice message, and yeah we all do
Me especially, on the net its even worse, but as everyone wears a mask to some degree, you can't not wear one eh ;-)
Sort of like entering a bar for th first time (or at least the ones I go to)
You don't just sit at a table
Very nice write though , background ???

This is a great poem full of insight and emotion. It really causes thoughts to ponder as the creativeness flows with a sense of intentful purpose, I enjoyed reading the scope of depth here. Well Done!

Ah, the many facades we were wear in life can be intriguing at times. We develop some early, as we wear our masks for friends, family, and school. We trade our school masks for work masks. We find masks we wear for love. We soon find that we have so many masks, that at times we cannot quite find the right mask for the situation... and we just kind of implode, hoping it forms a new mask.

For some people, this becomes a case of being two faced - saying one thing to one person while saying quite a few things to others... but this was never really the point of our developing various facades, which are not really that bad... we have our indoor and our outdoor voices. It is simple...

...it is only when things take on the nature as you have described here, where we start to see the issues.

No, we should never be two faced... but can we really give up our facades?
