Mask

by Second to None   Sep 14, 2009


Go get the mask out
Its time to leave
Hurry up and cover
I don't want my pain to be discovered

Go put on your make up
Shhhh...they don't know I'm made up
Be quite they don't know the real me
She is someone I'm ashamed to be

Go paint on your fake smile
I only have to wear it for a little while
Hushhhh...don't tell
Everyone thinks I'm doing so well

    I understand this completely. wearing a mask just to get through the day. love how short it is but yet it tells so much more.
    wonderful!

    Excellent poem. Short yet says a lot, speaks of so much in so little words, well written, beautiful real emotion in every word.

    I like how this was written, it flowed perfectly and i could see the imangery in the words. but is the last sentance supposed to say "doing so doing so well" maybe just "doing so well" would make the last stanza flow better

    Woah. Verrry relatable piece. Easy to understand. I actually reallly liked this poem, its simple, but discriptive. Keep it up. 5/5
