Masks

Folder: 
Rhymes

You speak with knives that cut me

inside the places

I try so hard

to hide.

 

You would know nothing of me unless you

ask but maybe that's my fault for wearing this

 mask.

 

For when the mask falls, there is just

me, lonely and bare with jagged

broken pieces of who I used

to be.

Nice flow. I loved the last stanza. We all wear masks and it only falls when we think someone can be fully trusted.

And we hope they won't

And we hope they won't disappoint us but rather that they will accept us. Thank you for the read

The second stanza is a much more artistic way of saying "you know my name, not my story" Smile

I also loved the last stanza
