Masks of The World

by LadyPearl   Sep 11, 2005


Hope was all she carried
the day she knew she was married
to a man filled with rich and fame
But behind the mask layed the shame

Another woman layed hidden in dispair
Her body cold and bare
Outside she smiled evermore
But that hid her hidden sores

A little boy arrives at school
Actions all well and cool
You'll never realized his secret pain
his broken family filled with vain

Tears of a baby cradled and all
No one replying to it's call
Left out in the abandoned plain
Wet and chilled from early rains

Masks that hides what really is
There are many yet so easy to miss
Sadness portrayed as glee
A pain no one can ever see

    I like how original each piece is.
    different each time.
    5/5
    this piece still lacked something though.
    It broke in its flow.
    Some lines were too long but I know its an old piece so it doesnt matter.

    This was an interesting poem indeed. It took me a minute to get it, I guess I am just slow today, but everyone has off days. You have your own style and I like that. Nice job.
