![]() Transparent MaskA Poem by Ian Faraway
A mask covers my face
So neutral yet so distinct In its purpose It's to hide all the pain And anger that bursts randomly To the surface Are you too blind to see Through my transparent mask? It's crystal clear Not foggy or blurry The pain can be seen But in that pain lies anger I won't say it's there If you don't ask Are you trying to avoid Looking into my transparent mask? It's like a constant game Of who caves in first I'm too proud to ask for help And you're too ignorant to offer it I want your help and you want to We're just clueless of how to approach it Glued to my face Is my transparent mask Sometimes I want to take it off And hold you tight, crying for help Other times, I want it to have powers Able to become blurred or make me invisible So no one can see me for who I am It's my savior and curse
