The Mask


In my face,

I see a mask.

A mask that sheilds.

A mask that protects.

Protection that show no one

what lies beneath.

 

In my eyes,

I see tears.

Those that show sorrow,

And those that show grief.

Those are the tears

That reflect back a person,

A person only I see.

 

In myself,

I see flaws.

The flaws no one else sees.

The flaws I feel inside.

These are the flaws,

That are felt each day

By me.

Beyond The Wall

My mind gets lost in the reality of where we live. The life that we lead can be seen through filters are unknown to the souls of those who realize nothing of the world around them. Expression is what brings light to who we are and what we want to be. Nothing is set in stone, but everything has purpose. Everything has change.
