Do my inquiries frighten you?

Hiding behind a wall
a fake facade
Ornamental masks
and faux personnas

What kind of life have you behind the wall?
A truly great experience? or none at all?

Such a lovely facade. But what does it hide?
What will happen when it crumbles and reveals whats inside?


Who are you behind that drunken mask?
What identity have you attempted to drown in a flask?


What is your true personality?
Who are you when thrown into reality?

Cover ups
underlying truths
between convincing lies
and painful realizations

Covering up the mistakes, that someone has made.
And with each cover up story, a little more of you is lost
As prying eyes skim past the underlying truths
Successfully hidden, but at what cost?

These convincing lies that we devour each day
never second guessing what is false or true
Afraid of the painful realizations that may result.
Does my inquiry make you think? Or does it frighten you?

It for sure makes me think... It's yet another poem that shows the truth of the world, and how we all tried to hide it behind walls and masks of imperfection. Very nice job.

I like this poem, its true that we all hide behind our own walls. But I like my walls, It allows me to show only the people I trust the true me hahaha.

This poem is one of my faves. It reminds me of something I'd write. A poem of mine, "A Mirage in the Distance" mirrors your poem. But, I enjoyed reading it.

This piece makes me take a good hard look at myself. It makes me wonder who I am and who I could become. Great piece!

[Chirinos20]

It frightens me a lot. It is the worst thing that can happen to a human being. To lose reality of what a truth or a lie is. Great poem!!

[Sharkapillar]

I feel...like I'm taking hits on myself. Am I fake? Do I hide my true self from the world, or do I just place what I want them so see on my face? Thanks, now I'll be up all night thinking about it.
A lovely poem, beautiful as always. ♥
