The Stage

Though your eyes are closed

I can still see your soul

and all the pain hid inside

and while you try to find

another alibi

I can see that life's getting rough

in that book

hides your secrets

the ones no one can touch

I can see beyond

your glass facade

we both know is destined to break

its safe to come out

from behind the curtain

take your place center stage

open your mouth 

and show the world 

what it means to be brave

shed your costume 

and remove the makeup

its time for the show to begin

I really like the message in this. Very cohesive thoughts string from one stanza to the next. Great job here! :)

Simple yet very powerful! Bravo.

I really like the three line verse form ; you do it perfectly here, and the content is wise and well written...

Revealing ones self from behind the curtain that shelters and covers the truth.
Such a well written, intelligent poem.

The ending was my favorite part. Number one, I loved the stage theme, but also because I thought your ending lines were a really strong ending to this poem and the very last line was my favorite.
