the Mask

By Myrrhkuri the fallen one

I wear a mask to hide the man
I don't want you to see.
Tired, bruised and broken,
from a life of misery.

I wear a mask to hide the man
I don't want youto know.
Depressed and always angry
a suicidal soul.

I wear a mask to hide the man
that I can never be.
Wanted, loved and cared for,
for all the world to see.

I wear a mask to hide the man
I shall always be.
A pathetic, hopeless, loser
with nomore dignity.

    Ah yes. But we all wear out own masks, for our own reasons; perhaps it is our masks that make us who/what we truly are. ~ mw
