Behind the mask

I sit here

Behind my mask

Of all in my collection

This is the best

No one worries, no one asks

They leave me alone

My world is safe

All the thoughts, feelings and emotions

Like rush hour on a busy day

Do they know, can they see?

What side of me I keep

Close to heart and well protected

Persona after persona, emotion after emotion

With a mask to match each

But this is the best above the rest

The one that fits everything

Until I am whole again,

Behind this mask, I will remain.

How truly we tuck behind our masks, becoming the person we want others to see. Only letting the close see through because to them the masks and personas are almost completely translucent....and that is still almost terrifying to me. no matter what face I wear there is one person who see straight through to me

How very true. Multiple masks to suit each mood and person we meet. When really all we want to be is honest and open about who we are as a person with everyone. Nicely done. Great read and so true.

Apologies for the late reply, but thank you very much for the review! I really do think that everyone has their own set of masks they wear. People couldn't be people without them.
