Mask
English Poetry |
Every person in his life now and then wears a mask to hide his real identity.The poem is about that mask…….
I was once sad and lonely
Having nobody to comfort me
So I wore a mask that always smiled
To hide my feelings behind a lie.
Before long,I had many friends
With my mask,I was one of them
But deep inside,I still feel empty
Like I was missing a part of me.
Nobody could hear my cries at night
For I designed my mask to hide the lies
Nobody could see the pain I was feeling
For I designed my mask to be laughing.
Behind all the smiles were the tears
And behind all the comforts were the fears
Everything you think you see
Wasn’t Everything there was to me.
Until now I am still searching
For the thing that”ll stop my crying
For someone who’ll erase my fears
For the person who’ll wipe my tears.
But till then I will keep on smiling
Hiding behind the mask I’m wearing
Hoping one day I can smile
Till then I will be here…..waiting..
Indeed a very beautiful poem
about the variety of masks that we wear
For hiding our reality, feelings, pains & tears
Liked immensely.
Once we realise this & do away with our masks
Living I feel sure can be really an enjoyable task
@Vishvnand, thank u very much sir for the appreciation…
excellent poem, just speaks my mind.
@Apurva Bharat Gaglani,
Gaurav,
I appreciate your sincere heart cry.
Kusum
Beautiful,Gaurav. But one
should be clever and tactful
too to wear the appropriate
mask in time.Otherwise, the
cat will be out of the bag.
@medhini,
@Gaurav Saxena, thank u very much…
Gaurav,
very impressive. Forthright.
We are all “works in progress”.
Maybe when one day comes to remove a mask and your features are ready to express of themselves the form of the mask,
