Oh YumnaKay, this is a very heart wretching piece that I can so closely relate to.
I enjoyed reading this piece as a whole but my favorite lines were the repetition of the "Symbols & the Masks" ~ a very nice piece, in wording & presentation YumnaKay.
Wishing you a good day. 🌹
Blessings,

Thank you for appreciating and your lovely words. Blessings to you as well 😊
I like this very much, and better another poem i just read of yours in which you copied another poet's style.This is much more creative ...and altogether a better poem i thought. Develop your own style of writing, it is very good already..

I'm glad you liked it 😊
I could feel the soul of your words as a powerful dedication, lifting her, showing her strength to stand strong even when torn apart within. And in another way it spoke from her soul into all of ours, how we can choose what we desire the world to see in us, through us. So powerfully voiced.

Question: did you mean at the end "scarred" or "scared"? Either way, I completely relate to this on a really deep level. I really try to put on a brave face and be a source of calm and hope for the people around me, and I think I succeed. But there is fear in me, like there is in everyone, and there are certainly scars as well, which I think prove my strength. They just show that I'm hard to kill LOL. Good writing Yumyum
I meant scarred.. As in scars of the soul..
And I think everyone can relate to this at some .. read moreI meant scarred.. As in scars of the soul..
And I think everyone can relate to this at some level. We try hard to be the symbol of strength and we succeed too in the eyes of the world..
I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you for liking 😊
P.S will I have to be known with this nickname here as well as in the real world? 😛 😂

Who is there to care for the carers?
This reminded me of Robin Williams and how he played the unrthodox U.S. physician 'Patch' Adams who used humour as part of a holistic approach to treating ill people - the phrase 'physician heal thyself' also came to mind. Some people think that carers have an infinite wellspring of energy and are surprised when they exhibit signs of burn out.
Well penned YumnaKay. Well penned.

I must say it is a beautifully crafted bringing out truth behind that mask of courage that we sometimes have to carry.
Many a time we are to put on that mask so that no one dare shatter us.
Thanks for sharing.
That was what I tried to convey here. I'm glad it reached you.
