Mask - Lyrics

So many people alive this age So few are true today Living their lives upon the stage Acting out their foolish play Some the mask of courage Still others mimic the mime To better hide their hidden rage Their mask grows heavy in time Mask oh… Mask tell me Why do you hide? It must be awful lonely Lonely on the other side… Please oh…please Won’t you come out to play I’d love to see your beauty Won’t you throw your mask away Pain within… Peace without Eyes that smiles can’t hide Why the fear… Why the doubt Senseless human pride Mask oh… Mask tell me What do you hide? It must be awful scary Scary on the other side… Please oh…please Won’t you come out to stay God don’t make mistakes Don’t you hide yourself this way Plaster mask lay shattered In pieces on the ground. Many actors scattered By the light my eyes have found Mask oh… Mask tell me Why did I hide? Life is now worth living living on the other side… Please oh…please Won’t you help me I pray To see and feel my beauty You know …. God made me this way

Gratitude Marcia. I have recently begun to write and frankly, I am a bit unsure of my natural style. I read what gets published and am discouraged by what is seen as "great" poetry. So much of it seems disjointed and nonsensical to me. I am left feeling that my writing is a bit juvenile or... It gives hope to have a poet of your caliber admire it.
