I WILL WEAR MASKS

Poem About Hiding Your Pain.

I was raised without a father in my life. I only had my mother and sister so I had to be the man of the house and I had to protect them from any harm that was coming to them. So I had to wear a mask, not showing my fears, my feelings. I am kinda scared what will happen once I removed the mask. I guess it’s going to be something that life will teach me along the way…..

I WILL WEAR MASKS

In time of trouble and insanity

I carried masks to disguise

the pain I carry

secure behind my eyes

I can never let out again

the misery I hide

to hell with my dignity

to hell with my pride

From this day forward

and for ever more

I will mount this mask

that will be my lore

No reaching out when I am weak

no solace will I seek

When you look for answers

when you say your prayers

all you will see is masks

and no pain that I bare.
