The Mask

By maximo

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I wore a mask To hide whom I really was To unable people to hurt me As I had been before This front saved me from a lot but it's time I give it up I took the mask off The mask that hid who I really was The one that protected me The one that didn't allow me to get hurt I took it off Off for good Threw it out Never to be found again I let people see who I am I let them see what happened Let them know what I went through Let them into my life I am prepared to get hurt again And go threw whatever pain I may encounter I learnt a few things from this There are people who care People I never knew did One person showed me that And I thank him so much He showed me life could get better The one thing I've never been able to see I thank him so much for I needed to see that For what I am realizing I have to be strong As strong as him I can't keep hiding I have to let others in.just what i have realized over the last few days Written March 11th, 2002 © on Mar 11 2002 12:05 AM PST   0 • 1
