My Mask

There is a loneliness,that I do not know how to fill inside my soul, I've been so long in the dark that I got used it ... I'm not the same person I was before, I wear a mask with a fake smile so no one will ask me why I'm sad I can’t not explain the pain that slowly consumes my life .. the rainy days make me more vulnerable than other days .The nights are a torture because it is when my soul cries and those tears come from my heart ... there are sorrows that even years can’t erase this world of darkness that I am living is the only one that knows my pain the demons of the night no longer torment me because there is nothing else they can take ,death hopefully could stop this pain, That i carry for so long that I forgot how to be a normal person. I don’t fear death like others that’s my only hope I have left, inside this darkness...Arilene Ramos

Arilene, I think your poem 'My mask' is quite sad. Don't be too fast friend to sadness and death. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. -Richard
