Deb M Poet Rhyme

-Behind The Masks

There are those who appear so self-assured
Got a handle on life’s call
Put together and in control
Never to stumble or fall

Self confident and capable
Accomplished and so very sure
Undaunted without demons
That come knocking at their doors

Humans wear many masks for the outside world
Varying in degree and extent
Yet we all possess insecurities and fears 
‘Never’ feel intimidated by how some humans ‘present’!

Gary Radice July 28, 2024 at 1:45 PM Absolutely Deb. We all have insecurities. I guess it’s how we manage them that’s key and if negative thoughts become a persistent problem. Putting on a ,ask can also be quite exhausting mentally. Wise words indeed. Cheers - Gary

Panagiota Romios July 25, 2024 at 3:58 PM A fav! Life is just so fascinating. I wish could share the many, many masks I have seen! Including, a murderer His mask was so good…I never saw the evil in him, not once. You are right, words can kill. They end friebships , marriages, do harm chilren. Writers should have a moral code. Being humane to another is a must. Good one, My friend! Pangie xxxxx

Ilene Bauer July 22, 2024 at 1:21 PM it's hard to remember this, deb, but you are 100% correct and it's important to keep this in mind... Deb M July 22, 2024 at 2:34 PM I think we all need a reminder from time to time Ilene as its so easy to feel intimidated and inadequate around certain people and personalities! Thanks my friend! Debx
