Masquerade

• Artist: iEatLlama
• Description: I wrote this poem to kind of show how everyone wears an invisible mask. Like pretending to be a goody-two-shoes. But its also to show that we all have a different mask made of different colors and that the masks we wear are hiding something we don't want others to see. Depression. Weakness. Pain. Worry/Stress. You can view more of my poems at deviantart.com (username: ShadowAngel85) or on one of my gaiaposts (My Poems (please critique).

Every day I wake up
to a mask of perfection
The person I want to be
but will not become

I wear this mask so
you can't see the weakness
and the pain
The mask will soon corrupt me

To wear the mask too long
will change who I really
am inside, I'd be who I'm not
Which is not who I am

I took the mask off and feel lifeless
like there is no more of me left
But somewhere deep inside
I feel myself becoming me

thanks for the grammar correction, L30NITU5. sometimes i get so into my writing i forget to edit that kind of stuff...

I know how this is,but sometimes,it can't be helped.Everyone doesn't want to be themselves,they want to be what others think is"cool".....

[L30NlTU5]

Very good, but when using the word "to" as in amount should be "too" (too much, too long, etc.)

[Copper Corporal]
