Masks. Poem by Ross Mabey

Poem - Masks.

By - Ross Mabey.

Masks can hide our true feelings, or can be used to display,
Whatever, we want to present to the world each day.
Perhaps, they are Images of an appealing kind,
Which can be used to attract a lover,
Or images of a repulsive kind, that deter like no other.

If we wear the mask that fits,
Then words may not be needed.
For they will attracted, or repel,
Then you will have succeeded.

Sometimes we wear a mask to hide the sorrow,
That we feel inside and hope, it's gone by tomorrow.
Sometimes, we're so happy, but don't want the world to know,
So we wear a mask, to hide our true feelings and so.

Perhaps, we should get on with it,
And face up to the truth and wear no masks at all,
So everyone can see, our raw emotions exposed.
Those true feelings, from deep inside,
For all to know, that we are not so composed.
