Mask

We all have one...

Should the mask I wear ever
fall to the ground, revealing
 the secrets behind it; please
 leave it be and pretend
you didn’t see, for I’ll
be coming ‘round
to find it.

i love this poem. so mysterious..dark. lovely. and i do agree, we all have one. dark secrets; a mask. very lovely poem.

If I find it I'm going to hide it. I prefer what is beneath than the masquerade. Good piece though and the font was an excellent touch as well.

The masks are there for protection. They are a tool, and can be used for good or evil. It's just like a gun, the item itself is not evil in particular, it can be used for both right and wrong purposes. More people are noticed using it wrong however, and it appears to be a ngative object. So I think it is with masks. If you have used it for the wrong reasons learn to use it positively.

I very much like the way you worded this. It's so true that we all wear a mask at times. One custom fit to the true face that lies just beneath it.

This was terrific... I love the structure, the flow is excellent... But, it also delivers a message effectively.. We all wear a mask: during an interview, when we go out with someone for the first time (which we still wear that mask further into the relationship), etc.. Great job, Tania!!!

We all hide. If your mask comes off, I will behold YOU. I will leave the mask where I find it so you can retrieve it. I am more interested in the secret that it's absence will reveal than the mask itself. It is grand to catch glimpses of people through their writing.

Another amazing piece by the marvelous Tania. I love that so few words can send such a powerful message.

There is perfection among deception in your amazing poem. An incredible message with honest feelings behind the mask. I've always loved the movie, "The Mask," it's always been a favorite. I'm adding your "Mask" to my personal favorites here. Your poem is one to cherish.

I thought you said my pieces were too short! I liked this one. A short little ditty pointing out the secrets we all try to hide. Nicely done.
