You are right, I love this poem. It helps support mine in the sense that many people struggle in trying to be who they are inside. A difficult task, might I add. Thank you for deferring me here, fav'd it! -JuliMichelle

oh love the fact that u have used the idea of a mask...Masquerade to express something that we have all experienced to some degree in life. the many faces of a human being today....its interesting. Love the poem :)

I have been frightened and hurt by the many masks that I have seen especially in early life. Some of the lovely faces hid monsters.

When you get to a certain age you dispense of the masks. Take me as I am!

I have never been to oregon but I have heard it is a pretty part of the country. If you do come to Canada consider BC you will not be dissapointed.

Anne Currin Date: 11/12/2012 2:46:00 PM

I've never been to Canada, I've always wanted to go! I intend to someday, I love traveling and outdoors!

Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/12/2012 1:35:00 PM

I might have enjoyed that as well, left home when I was 17 and have been working ever since. Home life limited my education options but fortunately I have had a varied and successful career. If you enjoy hiking you would Love BC Canada. We live in the Okanagan valley, absolutely gorgeous and a great climate.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/12/2012 1:19:00 PM

Yes having a good weekend, went hiking yesterday on Kelowna mountain, enjoyed going on the 4 suspension bridges. Today I had fun playing Badminton with some friends at our club. Back to work Tuesday. Good luck with your class.

Hi Richard refreshing to see somone who is happy being thereself for a change, to many faces out there for me, all the best Owen

Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/12/2012 12:38:00 PM

Thanks Owen, I think at times we all have masks that we wear, I think that is why dating can be such a challenge. So glad to have made it through that arena unscathed. Enjoy your Monday.

Just be. That is my philosophy. Wouldn't that be too tiring wearing them? Good write. I like you for being yourself. I think that is the best one. So out the masks they go, Richard.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 11/12/2012 12:39:00 PM

I never did find one that was comfortable to wear, what you see is what you get. Thanks for commenting
