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 wish everyone would lose their masks. Maybe if that happened life would be less painful, no?
You touched on a powerful topic with masks and bring to light a great point. Despite the fact your character lost their mask they make a point that they havn't completely lost an attachment to it be mentioning that they'll be back. I wonder if our masks in somecase don't become a part of us? I wouldn't be surprised. Great write.

We are all hiding from something, aren't we. I'm a firm believer in the KISS theory "Keep it simple stupid" and I'm not saying your stupid! But sometimes the simplest things are genius... This is one of them...

Hey, I like this, a lot! Wow. Good one! Going in my favorites for sure...
Very beautiful and eloquent way to broach this topic...and we all hide to some degree, do we not?
Excellent write!

This poem is very strong and poignant for so few words. It evokes some great imagery in my head. Nice. NH

It's true that we all do have a mask, that even when revealed, we try desperately to keep on.

Great way of capturing the sad reality.
