The mask comes off

Take it off

The mask of pretty 

It doesn't fit you any more

Watch as it lands

cracked , chipped and dented

the smooth layer of paint is gone,

Open your eyes

everyone sees who you really are

No hiding the pain of your ever fading happy life

Let the pain be real

fall to the floor and ask for forgiveness

The scars are easy to see

See them?

they are just like you

all the masks of fake beauty fall 

Listen to them 

hitting the ground 

look for the happy faces 

The cries of relief 

So much pain and anger gone

Never having to hide themselves again

Stand amongst them

The solo light shines upon you

Show them the road to the real life

You have done it my child. 

Giving life to those who cant get there

fell proud of yourself, for you have just shown the world 

beauty is every where in this unforgiving world

It's beautiful.... It makes sense to me... I love the feeling of freedom the person gains from not having to hide anymore... That mask everyone wears, it gets heavy sometimes and sometimes, everyone can see through it... If only people would let down their masks and be free...

"See them?
they are just like you

this stanza was the best. I think this poem is about a woman who gets plastic surgery and thinks she will look young forever, but in reality she won't. It kind of reminds me of the song Loser Dust by Hole. This poem was great. You are a very talented poet! Keep writing! :)
