Why Wear a Mask By Kenny Davis

Why Wear A Mask? By Kenny Davis I wear a mask to conceal my identity. Even no one notices what I do. Just in case someone pays attention to my helpful heroism. I won’t be praised or recognized by name. I wear a mask to shield myself from others. By not seeing me they won’t judge me for me. They would judge me for who I am when I put it on, Not for whom I am when I take it off. I wear a mask to become someone else. When I do so I am free. For the mask gives me confidence and invincibility. I feel no man, woman, or beast can hurt me. I wear a mask to learn about others. The initial judgment is made primarily by how you look. For if others can be cruel with my mask on. Who is to say they won’t when I take it off. I wear a mask to create a sense of mystery Leave a little or a lot for the unknown. For if there is someone who can handle me without the mask. May be privileged to reveal the secrets from behind it. Why wear a mask at all? If I do it to not cause attention to myself. For wearing this mask in a world of normalcy makes me unique. Seems like the mask doesn’t work much at all. © June 2008 k.davis
