The twisted masks

Hiding behind masks and walls.. Protecting oneself

What is my expression?

Do I honestly apperceive

Maybe I've morphed toward

Mortals theories and needs

Sporadically yours truly appears

Only to those genuine and devoted

I'm altruistic,astute and graceful

My soul is then divested

But never my heart in entity

A niche always in reserve

Could I ever absolve?

Your hitting a nerve

A apparel of disguises

For work, then to amuse

I'm a mother,daughter,wooer

Masks I cannot loose..

Each to masquerade exposure

Adding lots of blockades

Just in case the masks cracks

I'm so stuck in my ways

Can only push down so much

Some days cracks appear

The river wanting to break free

No matter which mask I wear

My spirit wants to soar

Like a caged exotic bird

My soul Is battered,listless

Looking out the bars! Mullered

Dreaming,longing,yearning

One day, I know!

My soul will have no limits

How long can I restrict the flo?

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

No matter how social we are there are parts of us we never show anyone. Afraid they won't understand. The wonderful thing about this poem I believe is that everyone can relate.

[Bewitching Sensations]

yes we save that side of us, for the privacy of our homes and those we love..

[John Phoenix Hutchinson..]

This is a really good poem and the reason why? You dont restrict the flo of your soul in it and this comes over in several lines. This is right up there with your best. Find a competition to stick it in. x :)

thanks John:)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Depicts well that feeling of hiding behind the mask of normality. None of us sees that everyone else is wearing a mask too!

[Bewitching Sensations]

yes .. until finally the masks crack :0

[SamanthaMarie]

This was definitely a very beautiful poem that many can relate to, which makes it all the better. Also your verses are cleverly put together!
