Mask

I look in the mirror each day, 

and ask myself “what mask shall I wear today?” 
Yes, my mask is an unavoidable must,

without it on, you are the only one I trust. 

For the mask the world sees, I use to camouflage the inner me. 
The true me is only for you to see because it shows ALL of me

All my pain and discontent, all the broken pieces no one ever could have dreamt.

It tells of times, which I had my share, of pain and loss too difficult to bare.

Each day I choose my mask carefully, to disguise the face given to me, 

the one that was meant for only you to see.

Top notch writing AND thinking! Your message comes thru loud & clear . . . a message I'm sure everyone will relate to strongly. What makes this special is the way you include a loving side to your message . . . it isn't all about blocking people out . . . you do show your true face to some un-specified other & the reader can hope to be the person who could trust that way (((HUGS)))

Beautifully written! I think we all could connect with these masks. We all choose our masks carefully. Loved it.

Very Good No one knows the stranger the real me that hides behind all so many masks I have hidden in my Closet the ones I put on when I think I's the only one that can save this world from itself.
