PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The face you now see

Is not really me

It’s a “MASK” I have found

When all I could do

was stare at the ground.

I put the “MASK” upon my face

In hopes it would replace

This pathetic insecure wimp

Who’s  stuck in a dark place

My “MASK” I use to conceal

How inside I truly feel

As the true self that I see

Is unbearable to reveal.

It’s this “MASK” you now see

That helps me forget who I am

gives me confidence and power

to be who I wish I could be

oh to be bold, confident and cool

not have to feel useless

and perceive myself as a fool

to be able to shine

through my dark inner core

to be free of my fear

and not feel embarrassed anymore

But until that day comes

And I see myself with love

I will wear this found “MASK”

as it fits me like a glove
