MASK
The mask or the mirror
which shall I choose
in one I can hide
in one I am revealed
for who I really am
for who I want to be
if uncertain
how can this be shown
For when I choose the mask
I am comfortable
at ease
I am myself
free to express
free to love and
free to live as I choose
without the fear of judgment
But when I choose the mirror
I cannot function
I am consumed
with my appearance
and what others will think
I am drawn like a magnet
to look
and fix
all that I see wrong
never am I satisfied
We are all judged
by our appearance
that is our criteria
people cannot see deeper
unless they talk to you
but this will not occur when
your look is not approachable
The real people in this world
use their head
instead of their eyes
and they know
what escapes most others
The mask we wear
exposes
rather than
conceals
it reveals our soul
