Masks

Everyone has a two sides..One is what we get to see and the other,what we never see..

The masks that people wear,
When they come off,
You be aware..
You might get hurt,
The truth might be painful for you to bear!
And now i know the truth..
Now i know what i am to you..
I'm just a puppet that you need,
To make you smile when you're in need..
Now i know where i stand,
Now i know where you stand..
The masks came off,
And i got to know my role,
It was not more than some s**t!
The masks came off,
And the truth came out,
It was not something i was prepared for!

Hi! This is quite a nice poem about Deception. I enjoyed this and I could feel the emotions of being hurt when you learned about someone, who deceived you. Great poem!

For improvements, I would like to point out some typo errors: (Please forgive me for being strict, I just want to point these. T_T)

- '...You be aware..' I think you should add between the YOU and BE. Like, for example: You SHOULD be/MUST... (Just a suggestion!)

- '...To make you smile when your in need..' This should be '...To make you smile when YOU'RE in need..'

Overall, I really liked this poem. Keep it up! :)

Ashwin, Your poem is really beautiful and it's enough to show the reality of many people. I think, we all have different types of masks and sometimes we wearing them because of we want to hide something to them. It may be our mistakes, our regret, and our sorrow..... Thanks for making such a beautiful poem. I really like it. Keep it up....

i love this poem so much. i like how its tells that it tell how all people have masks even if theyre not that big as people who wear a mask to completly hide the real them. and how some people arent ready to face the truth. i hide who i am to my family except my sister and some times when it slips out they thinks its and attitude when its the real me. i usually be myself in the presence of my friends whom i can consider a second family for me.

This depicts betrayal on a high scale. A poem is a manner of expression and it is expressive depending on the authors creativity. I shall not criticize it as per my statement but id like to say that towards the end it rages away unbeautifully. Maybe that is the beauty, i am only expressing my opinion. No offense intended

Another poem about the reality. Nicely expressed.

The truth of human behavior. This two faced society is everywhere around us, filled with layers of different personalities. Beautifully written.

The masks a person wears to hide or to cover something to protect ourselves is a very powerful theme. How many masks does one person wear in one day. Well written and makes the reader think.
Great work this
