Why Wear The Mask

Why Wear The Mask

Preparing instruments

O' surgeon of insults prepared,

Sharp words, skewered through heart

Words embedded deep

Left in, a sewn up bloody mess.

Of all pain endured

Greeted by joyful face

Then asked to wear a smile

Sealed upon a vault, full of bullshit.

Yes! Agreed to don said chains

Chains weighing down this prisoner not,

Masks, don't support emotional change

Change has us, wether we admit or not!

Hesitant, stealing glimpses

Under your mask

So afraid to find someone else below

Below, a person never known.

Why wear a mask,
Beautiful?
Don't you remember
What we looked like before?
When vital hearts
Tore out open doors
Killer smiles
Were frozen to face,
Two worlds turning, filtered
In our arms.

Reveal that awesome truth

Let's recapture love's lost youth,

Disguises shed away

But old versed hearts,

Are as stubborn, as night and day.

Hey Devon I can relate.  I felt I was trapped behind the mask of real self during my marriage.  I always put up a false front at work and only a select few knew what was really going . Me and my ex got lost along the way and never really recovered. Your  makes remember those times some good but more bad I hate to say . Very emotional write.  All stars.  Hugs to you rock

Thanks for relating Rock. We got lost sometimes as life wears on and iam not one to wear a mask when I feel bad, because when I do it shows but my wife is very good at putting on a cover up smiling face. Sometimes I wish I could do that to save face in front of people because most things aren't settled until behind closed doors. This idea was to good not to share, thanks for supporting it.
