Masquerade

Many a soul has worn a mask,
Altering how they feel.
Some feel braver others more shy,
Queens have been known there to mingle.
Under these faces we hide our disgraces,
Enemies can become lovers.
Ready to prove we are special,
Actually we are just weak.
Disguising our inner beauty,
Each one of us plays Masquerade.

So true, Brenda. I didn't see any new poems of yours that I had not commented on so I came to your very first post and enjoyed this one.

Thanks for the welcome Skat. Please read my poem Coming Home. Above I explain a little about my life. A lot of my poetry tell stories of my real life as well as my fantasy world ;-). I have been busy writing new ones here to challenge myself but try to sneak some old ones in here and there.

Each one of us is in hidden behind a mask, scared to come out, but we have to break free and be who we truly are. I have been learning that myself lately. Nice write
