my mask . . .

another older poem...

If only people knew the real me
the me that is kind and caring
If only people saw the me behind the mask
If only people would take the time to talk to me
If only people would that i'm not all like the way i act
People think that i rarely cry or have the need to scream
but their wrong even when i have a smile on my face
i'm screaming on the inside
Words are like bullets if not used correctly
and rarely do i hear nice things
i wish i never had to leave my house
I only had a little mean to hide my true feelings
My feelings of screaming out and crying from everyone
being a pest to me
If only people took the time to talk to the real me

I wrote a poem about the mask I wear also, it is not as deep as yours, more of a diddy. How many people want to scream, how many people cry...several people are going to relate to this, it is a very healing piece. Thank you for sharing, Barb.

This is really good, I enjoyed reading this

It sounds like this really came from your soul,
which I love reading about, because that is the best way to understand someone
and how they are feeling and in this you really showed how your feel

but great job :]
