Position:Home>Poetry> ~*We Wear Masks*~?Question:We parade around in this life living a sham of an existence that we, in time, believe to be who we actually are... In actuality, we crush those who held us up when we couldn't stand ourselves. How dare we point fingers and allow those cowardly masks to hide our eyes! Shadows lurk in wait to consume all who hide behind those glass walls we call our faces... The cold darkness shall break those porcelain masks, and reveal the monsters that lie beneath them... "We Wear Masks" "Tell me what you think... yea, thanks." ~*WinglessAngel*~ Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: We parade around in this life living a sham of an existence that we, in time, believe to be who we actually are...

"We Wear Masks" "Tell me what you think... yea, thanks." ~*WinglessAngel*~ We wear the mask that grins and lies.. It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,-- This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be overwise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask! paul dunbar circ 1900 Great! Catchy title. good imagery. Like it. Nice. i like it. We do wear them, sometimes we hide from ourselves. cool ~That is so good.~~~~And so very true. Thank you for sharing that. xxoK Beautiful,,and i believe you are so right,,our job in life is to only be one person,,the person we choose to be ,,the person we want to share with the world,,our truth,,,our eyes,our smile our,hearts,,,soul,,,and our spirit,,,,we dont have to wear the mask of lies,,the mask of who were not ,,because when we fall,,we,pick our selfs,up,and as we brush our self.s off,,we,smile,,and remember,,Im OK,,,and in stead of hiding , behind the mask of ???,i will teach not to follow in my foot steps,,,and that i am ok with who i am,,,For me I try to wear my spirit on the out side of my body,,,in a way our bodys are that same mask,,,it takes and hides,,who we really are ,,just by the way we look,,,when it is all said and done,,,its not what we look like,,,it who we have become As the lead singer of the band Queen (Freddie) sang, the show must go on. But some of us, have different mask`s for different reasons. Some of us hide from life, others hide from themselves. |
