Mask...

Hope you would like it...

Once I bought a mask,

so beautiful and so bright.

It was so real,

even shining in the night.

When I put it on,

everyone seemed to be so quiet.

No one could see the real me,

like I'm far from their sight...

 

The mask was perfect,

I used it to hide my tears.

No one could sneak through,

I was hidden from my fears...

I wore it every day,

however my heart was unclear.

I was just hiding myself,

didn't allow anyone to come near...

 

It worked wonders for me,

I thought buying it was worthwhile.

Now and then I found the courage to remove it,

Not very often but once in a while.

To see my real face,

To me it looked like a junk pile.

People did not like it,

They loved the mask named smile.

Nice poem . People use to apply masks to hide their reality. Under the mask they do so much injustice. People try to remain in the mask all the time..... Your poem has pathos and reality at the same time.. keep it up . Good job.
