The Masks We WearA Poem by DaltonStephensEveryone has one Some more conspicuous than others But noticeable or not These masks are never talked about Because nobody wants to be exposed like that Nobody wants to show their true nature Or how they are really feeling But there’s always one person that can break through The one you want
to let through The one who makes you put your mask in your hand and sees
what nobody else has Tears streaming down your face With the perpetual fear of being used and thrown away, of
being alone strewn across your face The face that apologizes for its existence because merely being
is something of excruciating pain to others the only thing they see is the person they fell in love with imperfections and all and they embrace it with open arms because they know how you feel they understand what you’re going through they are there for you masked or not. Because they know the real you And that’s something that will stay with them till the end
